It appears that the line above should be stripping off the mailto: part that get's sent thru by chrome so thunderbird doesn't get it. It would be interesting to see what the xdg-email script is actually doing with your information once you click on a link in chrome to fire up thunderbird to send an email. You could try to add a -xv to the #!/bin/bash line at the top of the script and then add a line that says "exec 1> /tmp/xdg-email.out 2> xdg-email.out". Then next time you click a link you *should* be able to see what the script is doing and why.
