In mozilla.org, there is a page of instructions for setting up command line options for Thunderbird. There is a list of arguments as well. This page is at:
Mozilla's Command Line Options

The instructions for Macintosh are these:
On Mac OS, create a text file with the following syntax:

type:TEXT
creator:MOZZ
containing:ARGS: -P myprofile

That page is not clear on what you do if using Mac OS. Once you have made the text file, what do you do with it? Does it have to have a particular name? Does the creator in the text file have to be "MOZZ"? Why not "MOZILLA"? Is the profile name "default", or the cryptic series of characters representing the folder in the profile directory?
