[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#740684: /usr/share/xfce4/helpers/thunderbird.desktop: mailto: links prepend "mailto:" to email address in iceweasel

[nathanielmbeaver at gmail.com (Nathaniel Morck Beaver)]

Package: libexo-helpers
Version: 0.10.2-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/xfce4/helpers/thunderbird.desktop

Dear Maintainer,

Mailto links in browsers and iceweasel itself open correctly in iceweasel, but mailto links in, for example, Zim wiki and pdf files do not (see attached for example). Instead of name at example.com they open mailto:name at example.com.

There is essentially the same bug reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=197135

I suspect the problem is in the final line of /usr/share/xfce4/helpers/thunderbird.desktop:

>    X-XFCE-CommandsWithParameter=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xfce4/exo-1/exo-compose-mail-1 mozilla-remote %B "mailto:%s";/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xfce4/exo-1/exo-compose-mail-1 mozilla %B "mailto:%s";;

Thanks,

Nathaniel Beaver
