66115 - Edit|Preferences|Appearance|Open Mozilla Mail opens Browser

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58523

(Core Graveyard :: Cmd-line Features, defect)

Description

[Erich 'Ricky' Iseli]

If you set the prefs Edit|Preferences|Appearance|Open Mozilla Mail, close
Mozilla and restart it, it will open a browser window instead of a Mail window.
The same happens if I use 

-Mail

in my shortcut.

Actually my shortcut also contains the Profile name, because I have multiple
profiles. So my Mozilla icon has the following:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Seamonkey\mozilla.exe" -Mail -P ProfileName

This is happening in the 2001011704 build

I verified and it's indeed the "-P ProfileName" that causes this problem, since
starting Mozilla through a "clean" shortcut and then selecting the profile opens
the mail/news window instead of a browser window.

This shouldn't go to preferences, this should go to the buildpeople?

Comment 3

[timeless]

this is probably a dupe of the fact that our commandline handling needs a 
rewrite.
