Public bug reported:
href="mailto:xyz"; links don't work in the chromium snap package anymore
to open an external email client (check this mailto test page, for
instance to test: https://www.scottseverance.us/mailto.html )
It used to work fine in the non-snap Chromium deb package, before Ubuntu
19.10.
In settings, if enabling "Allow sites to ask to become default handlers
for protocols (recommended)", it is possible to set Gmail to be the
default mailto handler, which works. But there seems to be no way to
make the chromium snap open Evolution, Thunderbird or other external
programs.
Mailtos work fine in Firefox and chromium-based Brave browser (which
pops up an xdg-open confirmation dialog box when a mailto link is
clicked).
Chromium Version 77.0.3865.120 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)
