With an instance of mozilla currently running, I'm able to open my email with

mozilla -remote "xfeDoCommand(openInbox)"

There does not seem to be any way on the command line to open the composer when
an instance of mozilla is already running, without creating a new profile. 
("mozilla -edit" will prompt for a profile if an instance is running.)  It would
be nice if there were a command...

mozilla -remote "xfeDoCommand(openEditor)"

...that would open the composer with the current profile, just like the
openInbox does.

Mozilla is great.  Thanks for your work!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.mozilla &
2.mozilla -edit
3.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla prompts for a profile.

Expected Results:  
This is the expected behavior.  But it'd be great if there were a

mozilla -remote "xfeDoCommand(openEditor)"

command.

Mass resolving a bunch of old bugs in the x-remote component in preparation for archiving it. If this bug is still valid and useful, please move it to the "Toolkit: Startup and Profile System" component and reopen it.
