You might consider checking out the /Focus command line parameter.
I'm not sure if you can use it to log into groups.

I guess you missed my post explaining how to get out of that one. :)
TB will not allow you to make all accounts user accounts by either
deletions or otherwise (*from within TB*). So long as your remember
that account name, you can recover from this testing. Of course this
was only added in a fairly recent version (1.42 or something?)

Actually it is safe *now*, but that's not very comforting for long
time users.

The menus are not as nice in the group mode. The separators and the
groupings seem to have been omitted. Cosmetic bug?

Agreed.

Ok, but as I point out later there should be a way to at least
view them.

Agreed, and add to that list: sending mail.
