268008 - [ Enhancement ] Allow calling Address Book directly from system icon / script

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 268007

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, enhancement)

Description

[Timothy C. Quinn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1

Many times, I use TB Address Book and not use Thunderbird mail directly. I would
like to be able to call Address book directly from a system level icon / script.

When I'm on my corporate network, I can't use imap or pop so to get Address
Book, I need to open thunderbird, click the Address Book Icon, Close
thunderbird. I would like to have Address Book come up automatically on my boot
scripts but can't currently do that.

Adding a command line switch to thunderbird executable would suffice like -a.
This would just launch Address Book.

Great work all and thanks!

Sorry guy's, I fat fingered a double post :[ (Server was hung at the time)

Good thing I don't work in a Nuclear Reactor. Doooh!

I'll be more careful next time.
