           Summary: Open composer from kontact application if kmail runs
                    from cli with mailto argument
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: MurzNN at gmail.com


Version:           Git (master) (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

I use kontact every time. mailto: links from browser and other apps try to
start kmail with arguments, like this:
/usr/bin/kmail mailto:user at example.com?subject=Message

So, if I use kmail, this works normally.
But if I use kontact and have it loaded, I got the message:
Kontact seems to be running on another display on this machine. Running Kontact
and KMail at the same time can cause the loss of mail. You should not start
KMail unless you are sure that Kontact is not running.

kontact didn't accepts any cli arguments, so I don't know how to solve this
problem.

Will be good that kmail check the command line and if they have arguments,
connects to the kontact and do the action instead of showing this window.

Reproducible: Always
