Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.20-7
Severity: normal

The script /usr/lib/mutt/mailto-mutt is supplied as a handler for
mailto: urls, but mutt itself handles these urls just fine, even
though it not exactly documented.

What's the rationale for having this extra script around? There is one
useful thing the script does: open mutt in a separate terminal. But
this could be easily achieved with this one-liner.

| #!/bin/sh
| exec x-terminal-emulator -e mutt "$@"

On top of that, mailto-mutt doesn't handle body specifications
properly.

  /usr/lib/mutt/mailto-mutt 'mailto:test?body=test'

doesn't do anything, but

  mutt 'mailto:test?body=test'

works just fine.

Also, the information on how to configure firefox in the comments of
mailto-mutt doesn't apply to firefox 3.x anymore.
