[Bug 515386] Re: No attachment when Thunderbird is set as default client.

[Thomas E. Horner]

with the following patch "simple-scan" -> "Email" works correctly on
Ubuntu 15.04 again:

the first change makes sure that only the first occurrence of Exec in thunderbird's desktop file is considered: | head -n 1.
the second change is a fix for what is clearly a bug (having $browser instead of the correct variable $desktop).
it's a little sad to see nothing happen here as this is a pain for a lot of users and quite easy to fix.
