When Thunderbird is invoked by another process trying to send an email
(for example, when the user clicks a mailto: link in their web browser),
Thunderbird correctly opens the composer, but an additional main window
is also opened. The command line being used is:
thunderbird -mail mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Please try without -mail option.
Ah, "thunderbird mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" works as expected, as does
changing "-mail" to "-compose". I just realised that we've been through
this before, with #330168. :)
Last time the solution was to patch the script to recognise -mail as a
synonym for -compose. I think this time it would be better to fix
gnome-control-center to invoke Thunderbird correctly. If you want to
patch the thunderbird script to recognise "-mail" then may I suggest
that the script warn that -mail is a Debian-specific option?
The correct way to invoke Thunderbird should also be documented in the
man page. Would you like me to prepare a patch?
