Public bug reported:

Environment
==========

In Xubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) xdg-email fails and presents an error
dialog stating 'Unable to detect the URI-scheme of "mailto:";.'.

I observed this problem when using "Simple Scan" in this environment.

The problem is that exo-open does not support the mailto URI.

Versions this problem occurs in
===============================

Xubuntu 13.04 uses version 1.0.2 of xdg-utils.

This problem also occurs in 1.1.0 rc1 of xdg-utils.

How to reproduce
================

Run xdg-email from command line in Xubuntu 13.04 instead of the mail
client being displayed you get an error dialog as discussed above.

Fix
==

I have located the source of the problem and submitted patches for both
1.0.2 and 1.1.0rc1 upstream. See the following bug report for details.
