If you are IMAPing doesn't google/gmail do virus scanning?  If you are fetch=
ing, then the solution is found by linking procmail to clamav, not alpine to=
 clamav.=20


Or, more specifics would help. Do you want alpine to make clamav scan a remo=
te IMAP message on the gmail servers, or scan a message as it is saved to th=
e local folder but before that folder is modified?

  -k.
