Since multiple mailboxes can be open at the same time, but only one can be 
selected, can we look at all this as how to determine which of several open 
mailboxes is selected when Balsa starts up?  I'll propose that the first one 
specified on the command line by -o is selected otherwise it is the one 
selected when Balsa last closed.  However, if more than one -o is allowed on 
the command line, I can see the code being easier to select the last one rather 
than the first.

That's the way the patch I'm working on is supposed to work: first one 
specified on the command line by -o is selected, otherwise it is the one 
selected when Balsa last closed.  If Balsa is already running, all the command 
line mailboxes are opened, if they aren't already open, and the first is 
selected.  I *believe* it works that way, but I may have missed some cases.

Multiple -o options don't raise an error, but all but the last are silently 
ignored; opening more than one mailbox from the command line has to be done 
with a single -o and the semicolon-separated list of URLs.  I guess we could 
concatenate lists from multiple options...

Best,

Peter
