Steps to reproduce:
The bug was reported against the snap on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1903805
' Thunderbird snap keeps asking to be the default email client '
The issue is similar to firefox bug 512305 , the approach for writing to
~/.local/share/applications directly isn't going to work for confined
applications
Actual results:
Thunderbird changes the default mimetype association in its private snap
directory
Expected results:
The default is changed in the real user directory. Calling xdg-settings
is proxyed to snapd and leads to the correct result

thunderbird-xdg-settings.patch
The attached patch is similar to what firefox has been doing in
https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/74e95f9fb43e (the
snap env detection has been updated to be similar to what firefox is
currently doing which is a bit different from what first landed)

It looks reasonable enough and applied cleanly to current Daily code. I
started up a try (Daily version) build with it applied. Any chance of
getting a proper patch with the a checkin comment and author information

Thanks for the review, I'll update the patch in the next days as
requested, I just need to figure out the proper mercurial workflow

For patches, it's what `hg export` gives you, not `hg diff` (and do set
your name/addr up in hg)

Use xdg-settings in the snap to set default
Thanks for the pointer, I had read that documentation but got lost in
the queues details. I've screwed my checkout but I'm adding one with the
author/description at least, if that's not enough to commit let me know
and I will try to do again a proper checkout to have the right commit id
reference

I built a Snap package with this applied (Thunderbird Daily) and it
didn't work. I'll try applying it to 78.6 tomorrow and see if it fares
better. (Using Ubuntu's snap sources and a build I ran on try-c-c.)
xdg-settings reports that Thunderbird is the default mail client, but I
keep getting the popup when I start it. I checked for the SNAP_NAME
environment variable on the process and it is set to "thunderbird".
Test system is Ubuntu LTS (20.04.1).

This part doesn't seem to follow what firefox currently has..?
