Wanted: Thunderbird Scripting Help
When emailing an invoice to a client via Billable we figure out the default email client and then use an appropriate AppleScript to create a new message with a name, subject line and attachment. We do this because there is no way in the mailto: protocol to specify an attachment and attaching the invoices is kind of the whole point.
Billable has built-in scripts to support three Mail clients: Mail.app, Entoruage and Mailsmith. It also allows users to use a custom script to support anything else.
I’d like to add support for Thunderbird (some users are asking for it) but I don’t think it is scriptable. It does have a command line tool in the bundle but it doesn’t seem well documented and my early tests with it didn’t seem to result in anything usable.

If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks.
