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.

Platform:

$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14
DISTRIB_CODENAME=nadia
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 14 Nadia"
$
$ uname -a
Linux [SNIP] 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:32:08 UTC 2012 i686
athlon i686 GNU/Linux
$

Version:

xdg-utils   1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu6

How to replicate:
    Install "Simple Scan" in a Linux Mint 14 installation.
    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 

Candidate Patches for master and  1.1.0rc1 attached.
