I already have tested mimedefang and although better than the one clamav uses
it was no were near as good as ripmime. ripmime deals with the fring stuff
better. That is things that dont follow standards very well. As for binhex
you will need to get the program for extracting those. It is a mac native
binary format that can be extracted but you will need the binhex tools to do
so. I never got it working completely but I did find the tools out there to
do it. For some reason clamav just doesn't want to deal with it.
