I've already thought about using it, especially since rng already uses
xdg-open to call the user's preferred browser when clicking a link in
the bug report pane (hint: icedove, you could have this feature too!).
I'll have to investigate which mail clients xdg-email supports and
whether it supports at least the to-, subject- and body for all of them.
If this is the case, I should make it the default and leave the other
ones as an option.
Cheers,
Bastian
