I found this in the amavisd-new 2.3.1 release notes:

- do_tnef: extract data from attribute 'Attachment' in addition to data from
  a more common attribute 'AttachData'; example data provided by Goetz 
Rieger;

Also found the title of the original message from Goetz Rieger:
"Virus in TNEF-encoded attachement not found"

So it is needed :)
