I don't understand how formail works. It is said in the clamav FAQ that it can change mailbox format to maildir. I would like to do that to a thunderbird mailbox in order to get rid of a message that is infected. I did not find options to do that. What syntax should I use with formail ? Another solution would be that a fedora user tells how(where) to get the rpm of mbox2mdir and mdir2mbox.
Thank you.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding... but this seems to be the long way around the
barn.

Are you unable to simply delete the message from within Thunderbird?

In fact I posted a new message describing what I did. But clamscan tells me my Inbox of one of my account in thunderbird is infected and I don't know what message that could be. Since the virus is of worm type (I guess attached to mail) and all the mail that I keep in my inbox (after sorting to different folders) is devoided of junk, unknown sender's message, etc., I thought it clean. I read in the FAQ that clamscan is not able to tell which message is infected but if one does what I was trying to do then it becomes possible (FAQ again). That it is why I was looking for such a solution. And of course all this hastle because I don't want to just dump everything (even the precious ones) if I can do otherwise.
