Description:
I've installed Sylpheed as my email client, but Gnome 3 doesen't seem to se it as such, not showing it on my "preferred application" list.

I've resolved it by adding this line:

MimeType=message/rfc822;x-scheme-handler/mailto;

to my /usr/share/applications/sylpheed.desktop file

and then giving (as root) this command:

update-desktop-database

Additional info:
* package version(s): Sylpheed 3.2.0-1

Found the upstream bugreport:

Waiting for a fix + new release from the sylpheed team, then.
