What is headless mode useful for?

Code:

$ thunderbird --help

Code:

  --headless         Run without a GUI.

Am i right to assume, that running thunderbird like this, will allow for notifications of new emails via `notify-send`?

Say for instance, i add

Code:

thunderbird --headless

to my xsession startup script, i can then be notified of new emails?

I don't use Thunderbird but I do use Firefox. I've always gotten better support at their fora.

Thunderbird 52.9.1

thunderbird --help does not show a --headless option.
