bypass_decode_parts doesn't work

hello,

I have a virusscanner integrated into amavis, which is able
to decode
an mail himself. I want to switchoff mail decoding via
amavis.

$bypass_decode_parts = 1;

but the log in loglevel 5 told me, that parts are still
decoded.
My scanner doesnt find maleware in a gif or in an ascii
mailbody
But he find maleware, if I present him the whole mail ...

As an workaround I use now

keep_decoded_original_maps = (new_RE(
  qr'^MAIL$',   # retain full original message for virus
checking (can be slow)
...
));

What can I do to disable partsdecoding completly ?

$bypass_decode_parts controls archive and compression
decoders,
i.e. all except the basic MIME decoding.

MIME decoding is always done and can not be disabled
(we need header and it checks MIME structure validity,
also needed for basic 'defanging').

Yes, this is the proper solution. It lets virus scanner see
entire message including header, besides individual MIME
parts.
