Better to put the logic in xdg-email itself, I think, so it can be
shared across distributions.

No, I don’t think so. Part of the problem is that there is more to do than
just picking an executable to run.
Do you know any programs that open up a message in a user-specified
mail user agent? It would be nice to not have to figure this out from
scratch.
To implement 'xdg-email --cc CC --bcc BCC --subject SUBJECT --body TEXT
--attach ATTACHMENT ADDRESS':
- mutt:
file=$(mktemp)
echo 'TEXT' >$file
mutt -a ATTACHMENT -b BCC -c CC -H "$file" -s SUBJECT -- ADDRESS
- stock alpine:
echo 'TEXT' |
alpine ADDRESS -attach ATTACHMENT
- alpine with Eduardo Chappa’s outgoing.patch[1]:
echo 'TEXT' |
alpine ADDRESS -attach ATTACHMENT -customized-hdrs='Cc: CC,Bcc: BCC' \
-subject SUBJECT
- thunderbird:
thunderbird -compose
"to='ADDRESS',cc='CC',bcc='BCC',subject='SUBJECT',"\
"body='TEXT',attachment='ATTACHMENT'"
- gnus with mailto-url-gnus[2]:
emacsclient -a "" -n -c -e "(mailto-url-gnus \"$url\" t t)"
- kmail:
I have no idea.
As you can see, I suspect would require some kind of per-package
registration to be usable. Grasping at straws, I suggest maybe a
field in the .desktop file. Is there prior art for this? Is there a
relevant mailng list?
