I know there's already a link in PA.com for a calendar extension, but Mozilla is no longer working with it, instead they are working on Sunbird (a whole calendar app that John already has made portable) and Lightning (which is a TB or FF extension, similar to Calendar)
So here's my request. With calendar you could add a parameter to open the calendar without opening TB (see here). Is there a way to do this with the new Lightning extension? I'm guessing the only thing we (I) will need is the launcher to open the calendar. Thanks.

believe that you can just pass the parameters to ThunderbirdPortable.exe and that it will pass them on, try it and see.

Thanks Steve. I dont really know much about programs (programing), but I try my best and if that fails, I research. So being that I'm not that gifted from a programer's point of view, tell me if I got this right. I made a shortcut of ThunderbirdPortable.exe and on the properties wrote -calendar at the end. Is this what you ment? Well that didn't work. Also, PStart as a parameter option, and I typed -calendar inside of it, that did not work either. If I misunderstood you, please let me know what I did wrong. If I understood you correctly, then, thanks for your help.
I grabed a copy of the OOo code to make a launger using parameters, but I think I must have done something wrong cause that did not help either.
Like I said above, I know the old extension had this ability, but I dont know about the new extension, but I appreciate any help given.

If you used something like
"E:\Thunderbird Portable\ThunderbirdPortable.exe" -calendar"then you did everything right.----

it something wrong with TBP, but after installing TB locally, I realized that it does not work the way Mozilla says it does. I'll just wait till Lightning matures a bit more, or until some else figures out how to do it.
So, John T., I suggest changing the link of the calendar extension to http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/download.html, although the calendar link you have is for both FF and TB, and Lightning is just for TB

Lightning and it is getting a lot more mature. It's on 0.3 ATM, I think.

I actually held TB 1.5.0.7 due to the Lightning 0.3 release and am testing compatibility. I'll probably post another pre-release today and ask for some testing assistance.
