Perhaps your problem is with you're constructing the TO field?  Or you
might want to try different quoting arrangements.  The above mentioned
page uses ' rather than ", but the environment that you're running in
might need it done in a certain way.

You might want to give a specific, real, example of a command line that
you've tried, rather than the generalised one you used.  Use example.com
for any domain names, if privacy is an issue.

NB:  I neither use thunderbird for mail, nor FC6.  So I'm only offering
general advice.
