Doh!  Excuse me while I make myself very small and hide.

I did actually know this when I first picked up clamav many months ago,
but then I built it into my spamfilter and never had to run it manually
again until last week when some viruses started turning up in my mailbox.

( This is what invokes it in my code ...
   sprintf(command, "clamscan --stdout --mbox %s", fname);
  ... I guess old age is getting to my memory at last :-/  )

Now I need to go back and check the ones which slipped through to
my mailbox and see if they still do, or if the updated signature files
have fixed that problem.


Mea Culpa.  Thanks for the fix.
