I suspect, after seeing bug #32532, that the correct default for this should just be "mozilla-thunderbird %s", since thunderbird will correctly do the compose thing if "%s" is "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]", while if "%s" is empty (as it would be in the "press a hotkey to open my mail app" case), it will just load the main folder view.
Doing it with "-compose %s" means that that user will hit his email button and get an empty compose window instead of the folder view. I'm not positive, but I don't think that's the expected behaviour from an "email button" on a keyboard. ** Changed in: control-center (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal => Minor Status: Fix Released => Unconfirmed Target: ubuntu-6.06 => None -- gnome-default-applications-properties uses incorrect thunderbird command https://launchpad.net/bugs/38730 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
