(not sure where this should go, but Mailnews Core seems wrong)

Comment 2

[:aceman]

The file actually is in /mailnews so let's keep it there for now. Maybe it is only a problem in SM.

The line 41 is this:
mailURL = aCommandLine.handleFlagWithParam("mail", false);

Martin, do you start TB or SM with a command line argument -mail or something like that?

Comment 3

[Martin Mokrejs]

I have somewhere in settings that mailer comes up by default upon seamonkey is executed, so I assume it is the same as -mailer on a command line.

Comment 4

[:aceman]

I can't reproduce that on TB with the command line argument and TB does not have that setting which window should come up at start up (it only has a single window). Maybe this can only be seen on Seamonkey.

It's inside a try catch block so I don't know why it's an uncaught error.

XPCOM components if they throw an error will get logged, even if protected by try/catch. There's a bug somewhere complaining about this, marked WONTFIX.
