Hello,

I've created this bug report, some days ago:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19377

At first: Why don't you hide security bugs for the public? This makes it easy for bad guys, to abuse holes!

Besides Slackware, someone told me, that Fedora also uses xdg-open in their mailcap file. I think it would be a good idea for the portland project, do do something, to tell distributors not to use xdg-open too careless...

Yours

Manuel Reimer
