There are no settings for this in chrome.  It works fine here....  It is always a puzzle to find out what controls this and if it matters what DE is being used.  Anyway....  One more thing to check....

Everything works for me fine using KDE.

[egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler mailto
handler is thunderbird
/usr/share/applications/mozilla-thunderbird.desktop

And in /usr/share/applications/mozilla-thunderbird.desktop

Exec=thunderbird %u

Check your /usr/bin/xdg-email for a section called run_thunderbird and see if you have a line that says:

MAILTO=$(echo "$2" | sed 's/^mailto://')

If not, you probably need to update xdg-utils.

It's there. Again, the issue is NOT that Thunderbird is not getting
launched, but the word "mailto:"; appears in the email address if
launched from a link in Chrome.  The address is just fine when the link
comes from Firefox.


I've had the same problem with google-chrome under xfce. When I selected:

Applications Menu -> Settings -> Preferred Applications

Mail Reader was shown as "Mozilla Thunderbird" but when I changed it to: /usr/bin/thunderbird "%s"

the problem vanished.
