Startup strangeness

[Jack Ostroff <ostroffjh sbcglobal net>]

On Balsa 2.3.28 (although it was the same on several previous versions)  
balsa seems to have latched on to a particular mailbox to open at  
startup, no matter which one I'm in when I close, and whetner I close  
by closing the window or using Ctl-q.  "balsa -i" has no effect, and  
"balsa -o folder" gives me a popup 'Couldn't open mailbox "folder"' and  
I've tried several of my folders with the same result (all mbox  
format).  I'm on Gentoo Linux, and I can't find any mention of problems  
on their forum or bugzilla.

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot or figure out what's going on?
