The problem is that emesene is using desktop.py to open links, which uses gnome-open if the user is using GNOME.

gnome-open uses gnome-vfs, and since gnome-vfs 1:2.22.0-4, text/html is a "subclass" of text/plain, and text/plain is opened in a text editor so text/html is now too.

I see two solutions here: switch desktop.py to use gvfs-open (which isn't valid for Debian until Lenny+1 and isn't a good idea for backports in Ubuntu) or use webbrowser instead. I'll look into doing this.

Thanks for your bug report and for all your help!
