Description Michel Lind 2011-04-08 13:40:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
Thunderbird ships with a mozilla-thunderbird.desktop with an Exec line that does not pass any URL to the thunderbird binary. This means that when selecting Thunderbird as a preferred application, clicking on an email address (or using gvfs-open) would launch Thunderbird, but not trigger the compose window.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
thunderbird-3.1.9-6.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Thunderbird as default mail app
2. gvfs-open foo
  
Actual results:
Thunderbird launches (if not already started); no compose window

Expected results:
Thunderbird launches (if not already started); compose window pre-filled with
address

Comment 2 Christopher Aillon 2011-04-11 05:43:14 UTC 
I've pushed your two fixes as individual commits to master and f15, but haven't yet done a build, wanted to get a few other things looked at first.

Fixed in thunderbird-3.1.9-7.fc15 and above
