How do I have Fedora to open an email when clicking a mailto: link?
I’m not sure, but according to the documentation, you should be able to create a ~/.config/mimeapps.list file containing:
[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/mailto=org.mozilla.thunderbird.desktop
[Default Applications]
x-scheme-handler/mailto=org.mozilla.thunderbird.desktop

You can skip added associations since it’s already there:
Tree - rpms/thunderbird - src.fedoraproject.org
And just change the defaults with one command:
xdg-mime default org.mozilla.thunderbird.desktop \
message/rfc822 x-scheme-handler/mailto

Thanks. That sounds great!. How do I get Thunderbird open a new mail when I click a mailto link?
Did Vladislav’s command not work? If you don’t have the xdg-mime command on your system, you might need to install the xdg-utils package.
