Hi Florian !

Okay I'll probably upgrade my config using this additionnals parameters.

My problem now is that my .desktop file seems missconfigured

It's actually

[Desktop Entry]
Name=neomutt
GenericName=Mail Client
Exec=/usr/bin/termite -e "neomutt %u"
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;TextEditor;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto;
StartupNotify=false

And I got

$ xdg-open mailto:contact at eddiebarraco.fr
failed to parse command: Text ended before matching quote was found for ". (The text was “"neomutt”)

I got problems with the quotes on the Exec line.
I think I'll have to use an intermediate script (mailtolauncher.sh) to
do this... x)

Do you have any alternative ?
