Red Hat Bugzilla 659786 0 low CLOSED xdg-email fails to supply To address for Thunderbird 2021-02-22 00:41:40 UTC

Description Raphael Groner 2011-07-01 15:38:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
If you call xdg-email, it passes only a value truncated from given parameter. See example below.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xdg-utils-1.0.2-21.20101028.fc14.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ xdg-email "bla?Subject=Test&In-Reply-To=%3C20110701105255.4da343f6%40lokalhorst.lokal%3E"
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Claws-Mail only gets the To: address but neither Subject nor additional headers.

Expected results:
Claws-Mail shows a compose window with all correctly splitted parameter values.

Additional info:
This works with direct call to claws-mail:
$ claws-mail "bla?Subject=Test&In-Reply-To=%3C20110701105255.4da343f6%40lokalhorst.lokal%3E"

Comment 1 Raphael Groner 2011-07-01 15:42:18 UTC 
It seems to happen also in Slackware. I guess an upstream issue then.
Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2011-07-01 15:56:08 UTC 
Yes, seems xdg-mail could use some love.

Well, I doubt I can reproduce this bug. :/
