I'm not having trouble with clamav telling me what FILE a virus is in.
The report is clear on that. The problem is that the IMAP INBOX file is
a formatted file containing many email messages. What I'm looking for
is some sort of ability to introspect into the mailbox format in the
clamav report so that I can tell which email message contains the
virus. I certainly am not going to run clamav in "auto-remove" mode, as
it would remove my entire inbox.

Well, when I use IMAP, I have it deliver in maildir format - which
would help you in this case. But I also set up the IMAP server
(dovecot) to route all inbound messages through clamscan (via
procmail), and if a virus was found reroute the message to a "Virus"
folder, tag it, and edit the subject - which would catch the message
before you could ever view it. Of course, it sounds like you may not
have control over either of those things? you haven't exactly given a
whole lot of specifics regarding your mail setup :)

I'm using Gmail, so I don't think I have any control over that. Now
that I think about it, I thought Gmail was supposed to virus scan
incoming messages? I think I'll check on that.<br>
