Use more portable default settings: standard Unicode codepoints for tag icons, and the open command rather than Nautilus to see attachments. There is still the "writing an email" part that needs to be done, but that one is less easily solved I guess.

Comment thread dodo/settings.py Outdated
While Awesome font icons are great, the user needs to set up the proper
font in order to use them, which makes for a terrible first impression.
Also, some of those were deprecated and not available in some of the
latest Nerd fonts (the one used for the attachments, for instance)

More portable, as most Unix desktop environments will have this do the right
thing, and not everyone uses Gnome.

V2: Switch to xdg-open on Linux environments as open is a Debianism (+Mac)
