It is possible that these pictures are linked to URLs so that if you click on them from you are taken to a site which downloads a virus. ClamAV has experimental code to handle this called "FOLLOWURLS". Being experimental it is only in the test version available from snapshot and CVS, and is not compiled in or enabled by default. To enable it you need to defined FOLLOWURLS in mbox.c (about line 447) and either run clamscan with --mail-follow-urls or if you're using clamd you will need to enable MailFollowURLs. -Nigel -- Nigel Horne.
