Patch (git diff) file against master.

Under Linux Mint 14 xdg-email displays the default browser instead of
Thunderbird. I don't see any code in the script to support with Mate.

I have implemented a quick point fix for this problem. I see that there are
related bugs and discussion of proper fixes in the longer term.

I will also raise a bug on Launchpad and cross-reference the two. Sorry if I am
not following the correct processes.

How to replicate:

    Start "Simple Scan" within a Mate desktop. 
    Select Document->Email from "Simple Scan" menu. 
       Expected Result - Thunderbird email window is opened. 
           Actual Result - default browser is opened
