@NoOp
Nope,  tried all those variations - two real options; a) you invoke the
package which results in TBird coming forward, but no envelope, or b)
you invoke the binary, in which case you get an error message no matter
the flags indicatin that there is already a copy running. OSX does not
have a shell file I believe (at least not a thunderbird.sh like unix.)
