Mail files</A>
</H2>
    Support for mail files is disabled by default. To enable it use the
    <code>--mbox</code> option in clamscan and uncomment the <code>ScanMail</code>
    directive in clamav.conf (for clamd). All popular mail formats (Mbox,
    Maildir, ...) are supported. Mail support is still under development
    and may cause stability problems - if you encounter them please send
    the problematic samples directly to Nigel Horne &lt;njh*clamav.net&gt;.
    You don't need this option if you are already using some wrapper such
    as AMaViS because it takes MIME decoding on its shoulders.
