As we are talking about a bugfix in a public version, we should handle every situation. You are right, if someone starts 'foo.eml -calendar' he most likly wants both.

I refferred to the naming in 'msgMail3PaneWindow.js' and you are wrong, it does at least suppress the biff on startup and the selection of Inbox after biff, which is important to this issue...

I there any other way to suppress the (delayed) selection of Inbox?
