Welcome. Now can we agree that
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613724
is not actually a SeaMonkey issue, but instead a desktop configuration
issue? :-)

I'd guess so. comm-1.9.1 is probably a snapshot of the repository that 
contains the source of not only SeaMonkey 2.0 but also Thunderbird 3.0 
and Calendar. The mail/ subfolder then contains the Thunderbird sources.

Using 'seamonkey %s' works. However, for the bug report I'll recommend
'-compose %s' instead.

Unfortunately, the https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Command_Line_Options
doesn't provide much info, and the syntax rules
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Command_Line_Options#Syntax_Rules)
appear to not to be correct/complete for SeaMonkey.

Found it. I just loaded up a test Ubuntu 10.10 with the default
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml
showing:
SeaMonkey:
seamonkey
  seamonkey -mail %s
  seamonkey
  false

I then installed SeaMonkey 2.0.10 from the Ubuntu repositories and set:
 System|Preferences|Preferred Applications|Mail Reader|
to SeaMonkey and find the it is using
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml for the
setting (-mail %s).

I then modified:
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml
$ gksu gedit /usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml
and changed
seamonkey
  seamonkey -mail %s
  seamonkey
  false
to
seamonkey
  seamonkey %s
  seamonkey
  false
and rechecked System|Preferences|Preferred Applications|Mail Reader| and
find that it has changed to reflect the change in
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml (to
'seamonkey %s').

So the issue appears to be related to
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml. Now, the
question is: where did gnome get those settings from? Mozilla, old Gnome
files, etc?

I'll dig a little further tomorrow if I have time.

Unfortunately I didn't see Daniel F.'s reply as it appears that he
posted via google groups & I have all google groups posts sent to
dev/null due to spam issues. If I get a chance, I'll look up his post later.

I'm still working on pining this down, but if you look at:
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml
you'll find that the  sections in that file has this set for:

Thunderbird:
thunderbird
  thunderbird %s
  thunderbird
  false
and that works just fine.

SeaMonkey:
seamonkey
  seamonkey -mail %s
  seamonkey
  false
and that of course does not. [1]

Note that that file is a default file that is installed on the Gnome
desktop (at least in Ubuntu) even prior to installing Thunderbird or
SeaMonkey. I'm unsure how/why the difference, but will try to sort out
over the next few days by testing with a few test desktops that have not
had SeaMonkey (or Thunderbird) installed as yet. However, I do think
it's also a build issue as Joe just updated to 2.0.11 with his PPA and
now it automagically shows '-compose %s' after I brought up the issue
with him. I'll give it a day or two before asking due to the holiday
weekend.

[1] In actuality this is a proper cli command as the Gnome preferred
application UI shows 'Mail Reader' and does not show 'Mail Composer' or
similar. Either way I still think that the issue comes back to the
desktop environment rather than SeaMonkey; as demonstrated, changing the
destop preferences to the proper cli command 'seamonkey %s' or
'seamonkey -compose %s' does work as documented with SeaMonkey 2.x.

Which is what NoOp seemed to suggest as well.

I will try to dupe this with a newer build of Ubuntu to see if it is still a 
problem.

If it is still a problem, I might open a bug report directly with Gnome, 
bypassing Ubuntu all together.

The thread was working through the correct command line syntax to launch SeaMonkey with when clicking mailto: links within Firefox. Daniel and I came up with the correct syntax, and we are trying to

Re: SOLVED! SM email not properly responding to FF mailto links

[Daniel F.]

Hey y'all,

I'm the maintainer of the ubuntuzilla repository. Here are my thoughts/
comments on the matter.

(By the way, NoOp, it has been quite a while since ubuntuzilla was an
autodownloader script. It is now an apt repository with .deb repacks
of official mozilla binary builds.)

So, speaking about what goes on with ubuntuzilla - all that is done is
extract the binaries out of the mozilla-supplied tar.gz, and put them
into a .deb. With seamonkey, the mozilla binaries go into /opt/
seamonkey/, a symlink is created from /usr/bin/seamonkey to /opt/
seamonkey/seamonkey, and an applications menu item in the form of
a .desktop file is created in /usr/share/applications/seamonkey-
mozilla-build.desktop, with the following content:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Mozilla Build of Seamonkey
GenericName=Internet Suite
Comment=Web Browser, Email/News Client, HTML Editor, IRC Client
Exec=seamonkey %u
Icon=seamonkey-mozilla-build
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=SeaMonkey
Type=Application
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;Email;WebDevelopment;IRCClient;

There is nothing anywhere in the package (nothing that's added by the
ubuntuzilla repack process, at any rate) that speficies the default
command to use to compose a new message. I would be /mightily/
surprised if you see different behavior from installing manually into /
home, by downloading from seamonkey website, and extracting into your
home dir somewhere.

It is quite likely, though, that the fault lies not with seamonkey
itself, but with the "preferred applications" gnome applet, which has
'seamonkey -mail %s' as the default option, when it detects the
presence of /usr/bin/seamonkey on the system. This is currently my
best guess. The documentation on the gnome preferred application
applet (/usr/bin/gnome-default-applications-properties binary) seems
rather scant, and I don't have the time to go dig through the source
package to figure out where it pulls the default values for known
apps... but that's where I'd look.

Hope this is at least somewhat helpful.

P.S. please CC me by email directly on any replies if you want to make
sure I see them.

Possibly. I typically run SeaMonkey from a /home folder, so I've not run
into this problem previously. I just use 'Custom' and insert the path &
-compose %s or simply %s (the latter works just fine). However I do note
that the SeaMonkey2 build from Joe also includes the '-mail' switch, so
I'll ask him. The there *is* something in the build configurations that
sets this as '-mail' default, then *perhaps* there is an issue.
Unfortunately it would/will be most hard to debug as you'd have to query
all those that built .deb packages from source.

If you look at the link I previously referenced, you'll find that the
'-mail' switch is proper for opening the mail client. The issue is
pehaps that the '-mail' command does not recognise/honor the "%s" (see
the GNOME desktop reference guide/docs for this). Again, that wouldn't
be a SeaMonkey issue as the reference clearly states:

-mail mailto_URL

Start the Compose Message window for the given mailto_URL Thunderbird only.

thunderbird -mail mailto:m...@isp.net?subject=hi

As you can see, that (possibly) only works in Thunderbird. For SeaMonkey
you'd need to use:

./seamonkey -compose mailto:m...@isp.net?subject=hi

and that works just fine.

Have a look at:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_mail_client
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_mail_client#Linux_-_Gnome
for methods to configure your desktop.

Change your System|Preferences|Preferred
Applications|Mail Reader|Custom|
to include the path to SeaMonkey (if installed in a /home folder) or
simply: 'seamonkey %s' or 'seamonkey -compose %s' if you've installed to
the system (via Ubuntuzilla or otherwise).

If you do not require SeaMonkey to be available for all users on your
system I *highly* recommend just installing to a /home folder and
running from there. You'll find that doing so is considerably easier &
safer.

Perhaps. But again you'd need to check with whoever built the .deb
packages to be certain. Is it a SeaMonkey bug, or is it a problem with
how the package was built?

I *don't* recommend that you install your distro version for the very
reasons mentioned in:

I do however recommend that you use Joe's PPA (or install directly to a

Then what caused SeaMonkey to get added to the Gnome Preferred Applications

I had been using Thunderbird up until I installed SeaMonkey. Thunderbird was 
handling the mailto: links correctly.

At that time, SeaMonkey was not in the list. After I instilled SeaMonkey, it 
was there, just the switches were incorrect.

What ever adds SeaMonkey to the list of Gnome Preferred Applications, THAT 
needs to be updated to use the correct switches.

I would think that something in the SeaMonkey installation process adds 
SeaMonkey to the Preferred Applications list. Thus why I started with a bug

Clearly your:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613724#c7
response indicates that you still seem to think that this is a SeaMonkey
issue rather than an issue with properly configuring your GNOME desktop.
So I'll repeat: this is *not* a SeaMonkey issue, but rather an desktop
configuration issue. (PEBKAC)

As you've already discovered, properly setting your desktop preferred
applications settings (Ubuntu: System|Preferences|Preferred
Applications|Mail Reader|Custom/whatever) to a path/system setting for
SeaMonkey works. This demonstrates that the issue is with your desktop
settings and *not* SeaMonkey.

Let me give you a few examples/whatif's:

1. I run SM from a /home folder on several machines (Ubuntu 8.04, 10.04,
10.10). Using your "example" won't work for me. Instead I need to add
the full path to my SM installation folder and use:
/home///seamonkey -compose

On others I run SeaMonkey2 from a ppa provided by Joe Lesko [1] and
simply use System|Preferences|Preferred Applications|Mail
Reader|SeaMonkey 2.0|seamonkey2 -mail

2. What if your preferred email application were something other than
SeaMonkey? You'd set your email preferences as above only use the path
to that particular email client.

Point being is that your issue has *nothing* to do with a bug in
SeaMonkey, but instead is due to your failure to grasp the fact that you
lack the understanding necessary to set your desktop settings to use
whatever email client that you wish.

[1] Using Ubuntuzilla is, IMO, just plain silly. Ubuntuzilla is nothing
more than a set of scripts that install Mozilla products in system
directories. You'd be *much* better off (again IMO) installing SeaMonkey:

1. Directly into a home folder (/home/seamonkey) and running it from
there. Or:
2. If you wish to use a system SeaMonkey, add Joe Lesko's repository to
your /etc/apt/sources.list file - or add:
https://launchpad.net/~seamonkey2/+archive/seamonkey2
via
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:seamonkey2/seamonkey2
and then install seamonkey2

I'd recommend that you just install via your distro repository were it
not for the fact that the Ubuntu SeaMonkey maintainers can't seem to get
their act together and still haven't backported the lucid fixes yet:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seamonkey/+bug/575160
[seamonkey 2.0 crashes with 'RenderBadPicture' diagnostics]

Now *please* go and close out
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613724
If you need further help understanding why please do not hesitate to ask
in this thread & I'll be more than happy to provide additional
info/instructions.

That's not an SeaMonkey issue, it is your desktop client issue (GNOME in
this case) and has nothing whatsoever to do with SeaMonkey. I'd recomend
that you take up the issue with your linux distro support channel.

I also took the time to report this in Bugzilla:

"Incorrect default switches to handle mailto: links / new message window will not 
open"

Greetings-

The solution was to update the switches Gnome was launching SeaMonkey with as 
it processed the mailto: link.

The correct switches are as follows:
seamonkey -compose %s
