Decades ago at work many of us had email on IRIX64 or NextStep and were
required to switch to Outlook.   Some users had big mbox files.  We use clamav
check for malware before transferring the mbox files. There were many
attachments
with Windows malware.

My boss was at a high-level meeting that included US military brass.  At the end
of the meeting the final report was shared via a USB key.  My boss had
a macbook,
but the military had Windows laptops.  At the time, Apple was using clamav with
custom rules.  The macbook detected malware in the form of a copy.exe
on the USB
key.
