Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-do

When I choose one of my google contacts (not gmail), and choose to write
an email to an address, nothing happens.

Output is this:
Error showing URL: Error stating file '/home/bjorn/xdg-email [email protected]': No 
such file or directory

I'm on a fresh install of Maverick and tried it with the official package and 
the karmic ppa.
It looks like gnome-do is calling xdg-open (or gnome-open) to open xdg-email...

My system is well configure (Preferred Applications is set to
thunderbird) and 'xdg-email [email protected]' and 'xdg-email '[email protected]''
work. 'xdg-open mailto:[email protected]' works as well (from the command
line).

So the solution would be to make gnome-do use xdg-email instead of xdg-open for 
email addresses, or simply put a mailto: in front of email addresses instead of 
xdg-email.
Is there any possible workaround for that (like telling xdg-open to replace 
xdg-email with mailto:)?
