[Bug 38730] gnome-default-applications-properties uses incorrect thunderbird command

[Eric Feliksik]

Public bug reported:

Affects: control-center (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
There are multiple bugs open that all boil down to the following issue. They're confusing so I'll close them all and mark them duplicate of this one. 
This bug then has 2 things to watch for: 
1) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326808 entering ubuntu, fixing this bug
2) The confusing thunderbird options, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-thunderbird/+bug/38726/+index


THE ISSUE:
- Dapper
- gnome-control-center, 2.14.0-0ubuntu2
- mozilla-thunderbird, 1.5-0ubuntu6


gnome-default-applications-properties gives this command for thunderbird:
     mozilla-thunderbird mailto:%s

However, this should be:
     mozilla-thunderbird -compose %s

Because %s already contains mailto:. 
This does not make it possible to show the main-folder-window, but there's probably no need for that via gnome-preferred-app-prop

For long explanation, see the upstream gnome bug mentioned above.
