If you have put:

	thunderbird_url.sh %u

in the KCM, then KDE will substitute the e-mail address for %u when it 
executes the script.  Now, to use this in the script, you need to refer 
to it as: "$1" {with the quotes} which appears to be what you are doing.

IIUC, this substitution isn't working and you wind up with an address of 
%u.  I don't know right off why this isn't working at first glance it 
looks correct.
