Bug Description
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.

Thank you.
Nifty, glad it's got a fix for future version. Now, where is the update for 13.04?
