333526 - handle arguments to mail/compose in startup script

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Andrew Schultz]

With bug 122698 fixed, we sniff out existing instances and open mail or compose for -mail and -compose commandline flags, but people sometimes pass arguments.  With -compose, you can pass -compose attachment=file,to=[e-mail].  Openoffice uses those arguments when you click on a link or do file->send as attachment.  Xremote can handle them and it's not too hard to pass them on.

This also prevents us from using xremote if the user does:
seamonkey -mail -P otherprofile

"xfeDoCommand(openInbox${2:+,$2})" or ${2:+,}$2 also works.
