Hi all,

Recently I've been messing around with clamscan on my system and checking all my files. Anyway, clamscan found some things in my thunderbird files.

Thunderbird currently uses mbox format for storing emails. The clamscan info I've read says it stops at the first positive hit in an mbox file. The only way to find which email, and all the emails, is by converting (a copy) to maildir format. Then I can scan that, then delete the offending email from the mbox file from within thunderbird.

So far I've found mb2md (http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/)
which returns:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/mboxwork $ ./mb2md-3.20.pl -s Inbox
Fatal: Source is not an mbox file or a directory!

Using less verifies that it is the actual mailbox. I've tried renaming to Inbox.mbx, even making a copy of the entire tree and working inside that. I still get the same message.

Any ideas?
