Please open new bugs for this - it's very confusing to re-use existing bugs for new issues.
The two issues indicated are: 1. xdg-email doesn't handle having more than one Exec entry in a .desktop file. This is a new feature (called Quicklists in Ubuntu) that was added to the specification [1] and didn't exist at time this issue was raised. 2. There is a bug in the patch gnome-3.0.diff which is not present in the associated upstream change. This patch was added due to bug 670128 in 2011 - after this original issue was raised.

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: New Status in Xdg-utils: New Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Currently, when thunderbird is set as the default email client, when simple-scan tries to open a new message using mailto: , a new message window is opened for thunderbird, but there are no attachment. This is probably due to Thunderbird who does not support attachment with mailto because it is considered unsecure, but still, this makes user experience very poor, as the user is left thinking "ok a new window opened, therefore the attachment must be somewhere..". And thunderbird is pretty popular. Fortunately this might be easy to "workaround". Picasa already did it using xdg-email script that I attached since its code show exactly what's needed. the run_thunderbird() function is the more important part in the file.
