this is hilarious, why this won't work?

this should scan only the included path recursive
--include-dir is a pattern which directories must match, but
it doesn't mean ""search these". You still need to give it a starting
point for the recursive search, eg
clamscan ~/.thunderbird --recursive \e
--include-dir="^/home/$SUDO_USER/.thunderbird/Marc/Mail/" \
...
I think --include and --include-dir are intended to include items
that would otherwise be excluded by exclude or --exclude-dir.
But when i do this:
nice -n -20 clamscan \
"/home/$SUDO_USER/.thunderbird/Marc/Mail" \
--recursive="yes" \
--quiet \
--infected \
--alert-broken-media="no" \
--database="/var/lib/clamav" \
--log="/var/log/clamav/clamscan.log"
#--move="/etc/clamav/virusevent.d/Mail"
it worked well.
Can someone explain what's the reason for this?
Oh and the var SUDO_USER is the whoami

Marc
