Ok, I will revert this in my next patch.

'thunderbird -remote "openUrl(...)"' does not work for me either, so its 
probably not a local problem. A temporary solution would be 'thunderbird 
-mail <url>', which opens a new thunderbird window and displays the mail 
there. Not the best way, but at least its better than not get the mail 
opened at all. Right?

The reason you get this exception is because ReadThunderbirdProfiles() 
in ThunderbirdQueryable fails to read the account name from one or more 
of your accounts. In order to debug this I will need some more 
information and a small, temporary patch is included that hopefully 
gives me what I need (it will output more information). Btw, do you have 
8 mail accounts set-up in thunderbird? Just in case it's some strange 
parsing error.

Thanks!
