Cheers Jean, Dave
It doesn't matter which method is used. ;)
Both do work like a charm.
You only need to set the proper mime type association - "rfc822"
A reason why I mentioned the Xfce because it has a very convenient MIME
type editor - xfce4-mime-settings(xfce4-settings)[1], which can be used
for someone who is not proficient in direct editing MIME type file/s.

RFC #  822[2]
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
message/rfc822=mozilla-thunderbird.desktop

/usr/share/applications/mozilla-thunderbird.desktop
Exec=thunderbird %u
TryExec=thunderbird

Au contraire, it's a good title and theme. Let the people learn. :)
And thanks for useful application.
