"Mail" menu entry does not respect mailer set in "Preferred Applications"

[steubens]

Binary package hint: indicator-messages

I use desktop-webmail; which works everywhere i've seen so far, except from this menu; it only offers to launch Evolution

Preferred Applications is under System -> Preferences, and the mail reader prefs are at the bottom of the first tab

expected behaviour is to respect those preferences ... though i'm pretty sure it just handles mailto: links, which indicator-messages can't really use, but they can still use the preference entry directly

/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto
there's an %s parameter but it could just strip it
