Does Thunderbird (or an add-on) support automation like Outlook does?

Microsoft Office applications like Excel and Outlook support 'automation' where, let's say Outlook, can be called from within another program using the CREATEOBJECT() command. This command [x= CREATEOBJECT("Outlook.application")] would start Outlook. Subsequent commands can populate the email recipient, subject, body, add any attachments and display Outlook fully ready for additional comments. Is there an add-on that will allow Thunderbird to support automation?

Not as far as I know, but you can build an email message via the command line.
