xdg-email-try-xdg-open.patch
Currently, xdg-email only supports Thunderbird in generic mode. If
x-scheme-handler/mailto is assigned to something else, nothing happens, due to
the following code:
echo $client | grep thunderbird > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
run_thunderbird "$client" "$1"
fi
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
exit_success
else
exit_failure_operation_failed
fi
Unless Thunderbird is the default mail client, the above code will always call
exit_success since the previous if statement will set $? to 0.
I have attached a patch that tries to call xdg-open instead. If xdg-open fails
to find an e-mail client, it falls through to the browser code.</pre>
