making the signature isnt the problem. the problem is that clamav will only identify the signature if its on its own (such as the signature is a file all its own) it will not identify email with the signature information in it.
as an example i took a spam based email image and made a signature of just it. i would like clamav to identify any email with that image in it as a virus so that it is trashed instead of delivered. the image in a file (encoded or decoded) will be identified based on the signature created but if its in an email the email is not identified as having an identifiable virus in it.
