## Mail files

Support for mail files is disabled by default. To enable it use the `--mbox` option in clamscan and uncomment the `ScanMail` 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 <njh*clamav.net>. You don't need this option if you are already using some wrapper such as AMaViS because it takes MIME decoding on its shoulders.
