i confirm that adding the patch sending email works again.
for readability i'd like to propose using | head -n 1, tough:

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).

Title:
  xdg-email fails to launch Thunderbird

Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When clicking "mailto:"; links in Chromium, nothing happens. I have
  Googled around and found that Chromium uses xdg-email for these. I
  think the problems is the routine "desktop_file_to_binary" which
  returns empty because the grep for Exec finds three such lines in the
  file /usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktop.
