            Bug ID: 91996
           Summary: xdg-email: Recipients passed to Thunderbird are
                    incorrectly quoted
           Product: Portland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
          Assignee: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: pelle at debian.org

xdg-email-thunderbird-quoting.patch

For example, if I run:

  xdg-email --to pelle at debian.org

Thunderbird opens a compose window with the To field set to 'pelle at debian.org
<>'. I.e., it tries to e-mail somebody whose name is "pelle at debian.org" but
with an empty e-mail address.

The problem is that xdg-email quotes the recipient fields (even with BOTH
single and double quotes!). Removing the quotes fixes the problem. I have
attached a patch to do just that.

It might be the case that older versions of TB need the quotes (I run
Thunderbird (Icedove) 40.0). If anyone knows which versions need the quotes I
could implement a check for that.
