Peter, I think you did too much. Now
$ balsa -i
and
$ balsa
both do now raise the main window. I think this is the regression. Please get it back.

I believe that was part of the original single-instance design.  If the user types "balsa" in a console window, he or she presumably expects to see a main window as a result, regardless of whether an instance is already running.  Similarly, "balsa -i" is used to start a session with the inbox open, so the user presumably expects to see a main window with at least "inbox" open.

To my mind, the times when the main window should *not* be presented are "-s" (which should simply print the stats and quit, regardless of a running instance) and "-m" (which should present a compose window, and arguably doesn't require a main window).  I suppose "-a" should be handled the same as "-m"; I've never used it...

Best,

Peter
