balsa --help

Application options
  -c, --checkmail                        Get new mail on startup
  -m, --compose=EMAIL@ADDRESS            Compose a new email to EMAIL@ADDRESS
  -a, --attach=PATH                      Attach file at PATH
  -o, --open-mailbox=MAILBOXNAME         Opens MAILBOXNAME
  -u, --open-unread-mailbox              Opens first unread mailbox
  -i, --open-inbox                       Opens default Inbox on startup
  -d, --debug-pop                        Debug POP3 connection

you should be able to solve it with -m and -a but my openoffice help isn't  
very helpfull on how it invokes external programs and the error message is  
pretty much useless. Do you have a reference for the parameters OO uses ?
