Make gnome-open handle mailto specially (587 bytes, patch)

Description Chris Jones 2009-02-12 11:48:47 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
"gnome-open mailto:foo@bar.com" will currently spawn a compose window with "To: ///foo@bar.com" in it. This is because the URI is passed through GIO as a GFile, and that object is known not to handle mailto URIs well.

Unless anyone knows of a more suitable place to fix this, I propose special-casing mailto, and just passing it directly to the uri launcher.

Steps to reproduce:
1. open a shell
2. run: gnome-open mailto:your@address.com
3. witness the compose window have leading slashes on the To address


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
