Send me a couple of an email that duplicates this problem. I am running
maildrop-1.3.8 and reformime correctly strips the spaces out when creating
the filename.

NOTE: all this shouldn't matter. The virus scanner should just as easily
pick up the virus in a file named ".pif" as it would in "virus.pif" - there
should be no difference. It's just a filename.

Are you sure your virus scanner just isn't detecting that particular virus?
