To Jerry, that is awesome. 
To Lynne, I am not sure where the information you provided came from but, the manual page for exo-open doesn't suggest anything suspicious in my opinion.

NAME
exo-open - Open URLs and launch preferred applications
SYNOPSIS
exo-open [[url]...]
exo-open --launch [category] [[parameter]...]
DESCRIPTION
exo-open is a command line frontend to the Xfce Preferred Applications
framework. It can either be used to open a list of urls with the
default URL handler or launch the preferred application for a certain
category.
INVOCATION
exo-open either takes a list of URLs and tries to open each of them
using the default handler, or, when using the --launch tries to launch
the preferred application for a certain category, optionally passing
any number of parameters to the application.
Options
-?, --help
Print brief help and exit.
-v, --version
Print version information and exit.
--working-directory directory
When using the --launch option and this option is specified as
well, the application will be run in the given directory. This is
primarily useful when running the preferred TerminalEmulator from
another application and you want the command in the terminal window
to be run in a specific directory.
--launch category parameters...
Launch the preferred application for the given category with the
optional parameters..., where category is either WebBrowser
MailReader, TerminalEmulator or FileManager.
If you do not specify the --launch option, exo-open will open all
specified URLs with their preferred URL handlers. Else, if you specify
the --launch option, you can select which preferred application you
want to run, and pass additional parameters to the application (i.e.
for TerminalEmulator you can pass the command line that should be run
in the terminal).
COMPOSING EMAILS
exo-open allows users and developers to open the preferred email
composer from the command line by simply invoking exo-open
mailto:[email protected]. This will open the composer window with
[email protected] as the recipient. This syntax is supported by all
MailReaders. In addition the MailReaders that ship as part of libexo
also support extended mailto:-URIs (but be aware that user-defined
mailers do not necessarily support this), which allows you to also
specify default values for the subject and the body of the mail, add
additional recipients (both Cc: and To:) and attach files to emails.
For example
mailto:[email protected][email protected]&subject=Foo&attach=/foo/bar.txt tells
the composer to start an email to [email protected] and [email protected] with Foo
in the subject and the file /foo/bar.txt attached to the message.
