A postmortem:

+-        command="`grep -E "^Exec(\[[^]=]*])?=" "$file" | cut -d= -f 2- | first_word`"
++        command="`grep -E "^Exec(\[[^]=]*])?=" "$file" | cut -d= -f 2- | sed -e 's/ .*$//'`"

This change was incorrect.  "first_word" both "read"s one line and
discards everything after a space. "sed" operates on many lines. Thus,
more than on Exec in a desktop file are both legal and incorrectly
joined together into command as "first\nsecond\third".

Title:
  xdg-email does not detect LXDE in Lubuntu mailto: URIs in chromium
  handled poorly

Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xdg-utils

  xdg-email is supposed to detect various desktop environments including LXDE and uses this to decide how best to send an email.
  In Lubuntu 11.04 (and in 10.10) this is not working as expected.

  In consequence, mailto: URIs in chromium are handled incorrectly and
  instead of an email client being launched, an additional copy of
  chromium is launched, which does not help the user send an email.
