OK, so opening mailboxes on the command line as of Balsa 2.4.10 is just an optimization feature. > Well, perhaps it should have been -s for 'select' instead of -o for > 'open'...but -s is already taken, for 'stats', so it couldn't be that...so > it'll probably always be -o now.

I would probably expect it to be the last, but it doesn't really matter for the use case I have in mind, where only one mailbox would ever be specified. For each project I am working on, I have a project directory in my file system and a mailbox with the same name in my mailbox hierarchy. I want to write a shell script that pops up my project-specific mailbox based on the current working directory. I'll try to build from the Git repository and see how your latest patch works for me!
