Doesn't work right with Gnome "preferred applications"

[Christian Holtje]

When I set gnome to use thunderbird as it's preferred mail application (via
System->Preferences->Preferred Application) it doesn't work. It pops up the
"Choose a Profile" dialog box instead of a compose window.

I found a script to do it and I rewrote it to work right with Ubuntu (see
comment for the original source).

if [ $(ps aux | grep thunderbird | wc -l) -gt 4 ]; then
    mozilla-thunderbird -remote "mailto($1?subject=$2)"
else
    mozilla-thunderbird -P default -compose mailto:$1?subject=$2;fi
