Bug 365461

Summary:	mail-client/thunderbird - .desktop entry is missing %u

Description Brad Laue 2011-04-30 21:23:58 UTC

/usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktop needs the following change:

-Exec=/usr/bin/thunderbird
+Exec=/usr/bin/thunderbird %u

This enables XDG applications to properly pass URL's (mailto: in this case) to thunderbird so the compose window will be opened when a link is clicked from Freedesktop compliant applications. 

Made the quick change here, tested, working. Looks / works the same as on all other distributions, matches the configuration of Firefox's .desktop file.

Cheers!

Reproducible: Always

Ping. Several thunderbird updates have gone by. Any chance we can make this quick change?
