Where may I find a list of the accepted command line parameters that Thunderbird will accept? I would like to create a Windows icon and menu item that will load only the address book. I think I remember that there is a parameter to do so, but cannot locate a list of accepted parameters. There are enough times that I need to look up a phone number, address, or other information, and I would like to do so without loading the main email window, if possible.

I know a workaround — export everything to a .csv and import into another program that loads relatively quickly — but would rather not do this. I don't want to chance corrupting the .db file by accessing it through another program/application (problems too with resetting permissions).

Many thanks.
