opening infected email archives in a sandbox

[molecule]

I have some old email archives which AV programs identify as infected. They are the only email archives I have of those years, and I don't want to delete them. My only choice is to quarrantine them.

But how do I open them safely?

I used Netscape at that time. I now use Mozilla, and will change to Opera on my next machine.

It would be nice if SandboxIE would allow me to open older email archives locally in a sandbox. That's my feature request.

Additionally, I could open the archives with programs not written by Internet-centric mavens, like simple text editors with no ActiveX or javascript. Image data, and the like could be C&P's out of the inline (or attachment) file stream.

As you rightly suggest in your motto, loosely quoted as "Trust no programmer financed by Wall St.," the financial money-boyz behind every browser/email combo must be presumed to have been primarily serving a piratical Echelon agenda. The "programmer's" agenda, to "push" the fraud of "better (ahem) ... browsing experiences" (lol) is an elevationi of the piratical needs of Wall St. fascists, aks Total Awareness communists, at the cost of and suppression of individual dignity and our right to choose.

Extend SandboxIE to include opening email archives locally in a sandbox.

I searched on "email archive" and came up with 0 results.

Regards, etc.

Sandboxie is not a browser or email client. You'll need to find a program that opens your archives and run it sandboxed, or find an AV that can disinfect your stuff.
