IceDove lost startup flags?
Debian Sarge, with IceDove version 1.5.0.8 (20061208) via backports.org.
With the Lightning extension, IceDove/Thunderbird should be able to use
the -calendar flag to start in calendar mode
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/faq.html#shortcut). Also,
according to icedove --help, these flags should work.
-jsconsole Open the JavaScript console.
-addressbook Open the address book at startup.
-compose Compose a mail or news message.
-mail Open the mail folder view.
-options Open the options dialog.
-news Open the news client.
However, when I attempt to start icedove with some of these flags, they
do not work. I get an error message "Warning: unrecognized command line
flag -mail"
-mail -calendar -jconsole do not work.
-addressbook -compose -news -options do work.
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, -mail never worked, because mail view is the
default, -calendar doesn't work beccause it is a Tbird extension, and
-jconsole doesn't work... I can't think of a reason for that, actually.
Am I crazy, or is this a bug, or what? If it is a bug, is it an IceDove
bug, or a Lightning extension bug?
