I have already fixed this (couple of days ago) and this will be included in
the security release of MailScanner 3 and 4 that I will be doing in a day
or two.

It's not actually very important at all, it doesn't affect the virus
scanning. It only affects the attachment filenames, it does not affect the
contents of the attachments.

It's a MIME-tools problem, which fortunately I have worked around without
anyone needing to patch the MIME-tools modules themselves.
