** Description changed:

+ Impact
+ ------
+ nautilus-sendto is installed by default in Noble but it is not being used in 
nautilus since nautilus dropped the code that used the extension[1] in favor 
use the xdg-desktop-portal interface instead.
+ 
+ The issue is that the portal can’t be used to attach files to
+ thunderbird because  the desktop portal constructs an mailto: url with
+ an attachment= but thunderbird upstream explicitly decided to not allow
+ adding files from an URL for security reasons. As such, when the user
+ tries the "Email" button in the file context menu of Nautilus,
+ Thunderbird launches without any attached file.
+ 
+ Check also bug report on Nautilus[2] and rejected special casing for
+ Thunderbird on the portal[3].

+ [2] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2431
+ [3] https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk/pull/447
+ 
+ Test plan
+ ---------
+ *Ensure that nautilus-sendto is installed.
+ *Set Thunderbird as the default mail client if it is not already.
+ *Open Nautilus.
+ *Select a single or a number of files.
+ *Right click on the selection.
+ *Click "email".
+ 
+ Expected: A Thunderbird email composition window opens and the selected
+ files are listed as attachments at the bottom of the window.
+ 
+ Regression potential
+ --------------------
+ The original logic must remain unaltered for the case nautilus-sendto is not 
installed.
