How to start Thunderbird with mailto info and make it non-interactively send the email?

I have code that successfully launches my email program (Thunderbird) with the desired info. Problem is the email program sits there and waits for someone to hit the Send button. My essential code that works so far does the following:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" mailto:foo@gmail.com?subject=Test...&body=Wee!!!

Problem is Thunderbird waits for the Send button to be hit. Is there a way to make it automatically do the Send? Perhaps a global switch? If Thunderbird would just send the email and then terminate, that would be perfect.

I think that's answered here, namely, you can't.
