xdg-email - no support for Mate

Description
Created attachment 81734 Patch (git diff) file against master.
Under Linux Mint 14 xdg-email displays the default browser instead of Thunderbird. I don't see any code in the script to support with Mate.
I have implemented a quick point fix for this problem. I see that there are related bugs and discussion of proper fixes in the longer term.
I will also raise a bug on Launchpad and cross-reference the two. Sorry if I am not following the correct processes.
Platform:
$ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint DISTRIB_RELEASE=14 DISTRIB_CODENAME=nadia DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 14 Nadia" $ $ uname -a Linux [SNIP] 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:32:08 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux $
Version:
xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu6
How to replicate: Install "Simple Scan" in a Linux Mint 14 installation. Start "Simple Scan" within a Mate desktop. Select Document->Email from "Simple Scan" menu. Expected Result - Thunderbird email window is opened. Actual Result - default browser is opened
Candidate Patches for master and 1.1.0rc1 attached.
