Hello Patrick,

thank you for your mail.

Betterbird is a softclone of Thunderbird. 

To improve this bug in Thunderbird, a workaround was 
created more than 10 years ago[1] .

However, after a long time, the developers decided to go back to the
standard, which works perfectly with all other mail programmes

This is a Thunderbird bug. Been there for at least 10 years. Nautilus-
sendto used a workaround, but we decided to keep to the standard.
[/quote] [2].

If I remember correctly, there was a CVE about the workaround, 
which also explains the reversion to the standard.
