There site specifies the same sytax as is evident from the > following url > http://www.mozilla.org/docs/command-line-args.html Perhaps your problem is with you're constructing the TO field? Or you might want to try different quoting arrangements. The above mentioned page uses ' rather than ", but the environment that you're running in might need it done in a certain way. You might want to give a specific, real, example of a command line that you've tried, rather than the generalised one you used. Use example.com for any domain names, if privacy is an issue. NB: I neither use thunderbird for mail, nor FC6. So I'm only offering general advice. -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
