Send To Mail Recipient fails if a filename contains comma

Description

Thunar 1.6.6, Xubuntu 14.04, xfce 4.12 via PPA (I noticed the bug in 4.10 too), Thunderbird 31.5.0

BUG REPRODUCTION:

  • Open Thunar
  • right click on a filename which contains comma character eg. "file,name" or on a filename whose parent directory contains comma eg. "~/folder, name/file"
  • click Send to > Mail Recipient

Now e-mail client is launched (in my case Thunderbird) with no attachment, and empty sender field.

If there is NO comma eg. "~/folder name/file" send to works correctly, it launches Thunderbird with attachment enclosed and sender field filled.
