Agreed.  The way to think about it is that MailScanner finds an email (it's 
just a file (or two, depending on your MTA) sitting in a mail queue at that 
point), strips out any attachments, unzips them etc., and then passes them 
over to an A-V scanner to find out what its opinion is.

The A-V scanner has no clue that the file came from an email, because it's just 
being given something to look at by MailScanner, and is well-removed from 
anything talking SMTP.
