I don't like clamav for several reasons, but regarding to that email issue I suspect you're not completely right. I suspect you'll be correct for MUAs like Thunderbird/Icedove, that probably still use 1 file for all emails of one "folder". Kmail, Evolution and others nowadays use a mailbox format, that use a single file for each email. - Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
