For what it's worth, it seems like "file" identifies the attachment as
"ASCII text" and I suspect this makes Amavis skip the analysis of the
attachment. Can somebody confirm this?

It should be fairly easy to make "file" return something else for this
type of file. Any suggestions to what we'd want it to return for an .eml
file to be properly processed?
