"mail" compatible script that invokes xdg-email
The command line "cddb-tool" uses mail to send out CDDB database update mails - but I had no mail installed, only Thunderbird.
xdg-email can be used to invoke all sorts of GUI email clients from command line on Linux, but there was no converter from "mail" to "xdg-email".
This script is it.
