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.

===============================
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.

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.
