this should scan only the included path recursive

But when i do this:

>                  "/home/$SUDO_USER/.thunderbird/Marc/Mail" \

>                  --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

regards,
Marc
