Bug#964799: libexo-helpers: starting thunderbird fails for some mailto URIs
Package: libexo-helpers
Version: 0.12.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
X-Debbugs-Cc: nis.martensen@web.de
Dear Maintainer,
Thunderbird fails to get launched for certain mailto URIs, while it
works perfectly fine with many others. To reproduce, try
/usr/share/xfce4/exo-1/exo-compose-mail-1 mozilla-remote \
thunderbird "mailto:foo?body=b%29a";
Thunderbird fails to start and this returns 1. If you change the "%29"
to "%28", it works as expected.
This can be fixed by passing subject and body to thunderbird uri-escaped
(see patch below). This works reliably and is also the approach used by
xdg-email when launching thunderbird.
The bug still exists in upstream git. Will you forward this report or do
you want me to do it?
