Nice idea, but I don't see why it should take place within amavisd-new.
Actually I personally think it should absolutely not happen in amavisd-new.
Only if amavisd-new and the virus scanners 'survived' the examination another
program should try document conversion. The LDA might call a filter that does
that.
