It doesn't work with Precise Beta 2 either. I'm pretty sure this isn't
just an issue with Thunderbird 3, but 3+. I think Precise has 11.

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.
