When clicking on a mailto link I want to be able tro choose a profile for the
compose window to use.

You can do this, **but** it will not work if the profile you choose is already
running a Thunderbird session.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Thunderbird with a profile.
2.ensure that Thunderbird will start as mozilla-thunderbird -P %s when mailto
link is clicked
3.Click mailto link
4.Choose your profile, if profile is same as one used in step 1 you can not get
a compose window

Actual Results:  
Profile already started.

Expected Results:  
compose window should open for the profile you choose in step 4
