Build Identifier: verze 2.0.0.12 (20080226)

(originally filed in the Red Hat Bugzilla, but I as a RH bugmaster can reproduce it as well).

Using thunderbird in the form "thunderbird -compose <some address>" opens a
thunderbird mail write window, but the recepient (given by the -compose option)
is missing (empty to-field)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
thunderbird-2.0.0.4-1.fc7
(I have reproduced it with thunderbird-2.0.0.12-1.fc8

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.thunderbird -compose <some recipient>
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
the write window is open with an empty to-field

Expected Results:  
the to-field is set
What format did you use for "<some address>" or "<some recipient>" part?

Following is list of Mozilla's command line options.

I don't know whether Tb uses same options/format as Mozilla or not, but I think data format of at least -compose option was not changed by Tb. 
thunderbird -compose mcepl@redhat.com
I don't think that ever worked, you can use either of
 thunderbird -compose to=mcepl@redhat.com 
 thunderbird mailto:mcepl@redhat.com
Closing as INVALID.
