Re: Fix for sending pictures with Thunderbird?

[Pat Suwalski <pat suwalski net>]

The bug Tim posted is more correct. I've noticed the error happening 
myself, but now I took a look at the source and I can see the reason:

From SendEmail.cs:

                        switch (Preferences.Get<string> 
(Preferences.GNOME_MAILTO_COMMAND)) {
                        case "thunderbird %s":
                        case "mozilla-thunderbird %s":
                        case "seamonkey -mail -compose %s":
                        case "icedove %s":
                                attach_arg.Append(",");
                                break;
                        case "kmail %s":
                                attach_arg.Append(" --attach ");
                                break;
                        default:  //evolution falls into default, since 
it supports mailto uri correctly
                                attach_arg.Append("&attach=");
                                break;
                        }

My /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command is:

	/usr/lib/icedove-3.0/icedove-3.0 "%s"

Clearly, this doesn't match, so it always falls through. While a little 
gross, would it make sense to alter this block to look for substrings 
instead? Ideally, the beginning substring "thunderbird" of basename of 
the configuration string?
