Why is this (partially) broken now?

When I execute the "toolplaces" command, after setting up my sunview
screen to my tastes, the line for mush reads as:

mush       -Wp   88  47 -Ws 703 761 -WP  584 588 -Wi -Wb   0   0 140 -Wf 255 130   0 -t -Wg

This always worked in my setup file just fine, before I switched to the
mushview version. Now mush blows up on this - complaining about invalid
arguments - resulting in mush coming up in line mode, in compose mode,
and asking for a subject for the letter which is addressed to all the
command line arguments (except for the first argument, which it choked on).

I have found that if I move the single mushview argument, the "-t", to be
the first argument to mush, it works just fine, but this means I now have
to manually edit my startup file - not very freindly, eh?

Why is this broken now, and which should be fixed: mush, toolplaces, or me?
