I am not sure that this is th case, xdg-email is as likely to be
broken as anything else. Indeed, on Debian, when the sysadmin installs
a MTA, and sets it up correctly, _every_ user on the system has a
working email. If xdg-email defaults to thunderbird; then every user
has to set it up correctly, which they might not have expertise to do.
At my last install of a Debian system, I recall being asked how
to set up my MTA -- and local delivery was only one of five options.
These decisions we are making do not come at no cost. Right now,
emacs works out of the box with no user setup for sending email on the
corporate debian boxes at my place of work; this change would mean
every single user will have to customize emacs on every single box at
work.
I would find that degrades the quality of implementation for
emacs. How are we so sure that I am in the minority here?
