crash happens because of unexpected ? in the url.

with new release 003 i dont see this crash anymore when running:

desktop-webmail 'mailto:?body=Nuova%20offerta%20CityDeal.it%20%C2%A0Torino:Voglia%20di%20Drink,%20Djset%20e%20Divertimento?%20JUDAFIRE%20a%20soli%205%20Euro%20invece%20di%2010%20Euro.%20Risparmi%20il%2050%%C2%A0http://www.citydeal.it/in/.L3EaGh/,4641&subject=Nuova%20offerta%20CityDeal.it%20%C2%A0in%20Torino:Voglia%20di%20Drink,%20Djset%20e%20Divertimento?%20JUDAFIRE%20a%20soli%205%20Euro%20invece%20di%2010%20Euro.%20Risparmi%20il%2050%'

can you confirm?

(note that gmail doesn't like this url due to %% usage ... dont think its an issue of the app)

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

added to fixed release bugset for 003 milestone (released recently).

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

003-0ubuntu1 upload includes this upstream fix. forgot to doc in the upload it seems.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

fix was uploaded to precise pangolin main archive. if you need it for oneiric go for https://launchpad.net/~asac/+archive/ppa

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

same packages for older releases are also available in my experimental sandbox ppa: https://launchpad.net/~asac/+archive/sandbox

NOTE: I don't know if they work though. feedback welcome! especially for maverick and natty.
