I think this not a bug with mail-notification but well in "gnome-default-applications-properties" => see there that if you check thunderbird, it says "thunderbird --compose %s" !!

This has been fixed in CVS some time ago (by using the first word like in your patch). I'm also going to add the mozilla/evolution part of your patch, thanks.

Attaching patch to trim Mail Reader launch command to the first space...is there a good reason not to do it that way?

I also used the Mozilla and Evolution mail client handling from the Fedora Core "htmlview" package to properly launch those clients.

Description of problem:
When the preferred mail application is set to Thunderbird Mail, the launch Mail Reader action opens a Thunderbird Mail compose window.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mail-notification-3.0-10.fc6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Set Mail Reader to Thunderbird Mail in Preferred Applications.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure preferred mail reader is set to Thunderbird
2. Right-click on Mail Notification applet and select "Mail Reader"
 
Actual results:
A Thunderbird mail starts showing only a composition window.

Expected results:
A Thunderbird mail start with a main mail reader window.

Additional info:

The following process is created...
/bin/sh /usr/lib64/thunderbird-1.5.0.8/thunderbird -compose

Same results occur if you set the double-click action to "Mail Reader" and then double-click the notification applet icon.
