Bug Description

Earlier today I updated Thunderbird 3.*->5.0 from ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable. Lightning was one of the packages that were updated at the same time.

Since the update, upon starting TB5, Lightning seems to have stopped handling a calendar (TripIt) I had defined using a 'webcal' URL. Instead, a Launch Application dialog appears asking me to specify the application to use for webcal links, and this happens every time there is an attempt to reload the calendar.

Is this a config issue or a bug?

TB5: 5.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.10.1~mts1
Lightning: 1.0~b4+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.10.1~mts1
System: Ubuntu 10.10 amd64

Apparently the webcal calendar is treated as an attachment -- setting the application for webcal to Sunbird in Preferences->Attachments caused Sunbird to be launched and it showed the calendar in question.

It doesn't make sense to treat a calendar as if it were an attachment in an email message. With Lightning installed, that's what should handle the calendar.
