Title:
  "gio open" handles mailto: links wrong, putting /// at the start of
  the email address

Status in GLib:
  Fix Released
Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  "gio open mailto:user at host" results in gio executing "thunderbird
  mailto:///user@host", which is wrong and causes the address that shows
  up in the thunderbird composition window to start with three slashes
  when it shouldn't.

  Proof, from "strace gio open mailto:user at host" output:

  16976 execve("/usr/bin/gio", ["gio", "open", "mailto:user at host"], [/* 76 vars */]) = 0
  16980 execve("/usr/bin/thunderbird", ["thunderbird", "mailto:///user@host"], [/* 78 vars */] <unfinished ...>
