Hi!

gvfs-open allows one to open a file with the "preferred
application". Unfortunately, it exits as soon as the application is
started. Therefore, it is not usable from another application that
provides a temporary file and waits for the application to terminate
to delete it (typically, a mail program).

This bug has already been reported upstream last year:
 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652262

I have just provided a patch. Maybe it could go in Debian before being
applied upstream (or before the next version with the patch, if
applied, hits Debian). It could a solution to people wondering how to
solve bug #497779 by adding the appropriate wildcard entry in
/etc/mailcap (not a perfect solution, but better than nothing).
