Description pnmanolova 2013-05-31 13:28:22 UTC 
There is no way for an application using nautilus-sendto to know whether there
is a supported mailer installed on the system. This causes some gnome applications using it to misbehave (Nautilus, Cheese etc.).

Review of attachment 245753 [details] [review]:

You can look up the default handler for mailto in the caller, much easier than calling out to nautilus-sendto.
Especially when you have 1 line of code that's necessary in that function.
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2013-06-27 09:44:20 UTC 
The problem should be solved in each application, such as evince so closing as a dupe of the evince bug.
