Wish: it would be handy to have a command line option "-compose help" to show the syntax and any available field (to, cc, ...), as it appears in the drop down menu of a compose window.

Cheers,

Confirming per bug 627999 comment #5. The syntax for the "-compose" command line option is rather confusing and not intuitive, thus an inline help would be useful (e.g., for scripting). Also, as filed in bug 630804, the option names don't match what the user sees in the composition window.
