Bug 455847

SUMMARY
***
When trying to send a scan, the program uses a mailto: link with a file-attachment. It looks like some common mail setups don't honor this anymore (especially web mail) presumably because it provides a way for someone to say "click here" and then mail themselves some file off your system without you noticing? 
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Scan
2.  Send scan via e-mail
3.  Note that e-mail client pops up with no file attached

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As a silly work around, I have my e-mail application set to a file (/usr/local/bin/gmail-stub) that looks like this:

 #!/bin/bash
 CMD=`echo $1 | sed s/attachment=file:../subject=Please+attach+/`
 exec xdg-open "https://mail.google.com/mail?extsrc=mailto&url=$CMD"

This works for everything normal (the sed misses everything) and if you have an attachment you get a subject that says Please attach (file path). RFC2368 only assures you that to/subject/body are understood https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2368 -- I hear there is no more support in several other e-mail programs, too.

My script is not ideal, but I'm trying to think of a better way to do this for programs like skan. For example, copy the file to the clipboard so it could be pasted?
