(in > GuixSD) Testing in latest IceCat, there's a 'Use other...' entry in the mailto applications configuration. I also saw 'Emacs' in the list of potential applications to open mailto URIs, tried it and it opened Emacs. Does that work for you? To get the applications recognized as supporting this URI scheme, they must provide a .desktop file which mentions support for it, for example via a MimeType=x-scheme-handler entry: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ grep -rin 'x-scheme-handler' $(guix build weechat) /gnu/store/...-weechat-2.9/share/applications/weechat.desktop:17:MimeType=x-scheme-handler/irc;x-scheme-handler/ircs;--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This information gets compiled into a MIME database by a profile hook under: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ grep 'x-scheme-handler/ircs' ~/.guix-profile/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache x-scheme-handler/ircs=weechat.desktop; --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- And Icecat picks its up to show ircs:// URIs and shows the application as registered for this type in its Applications settings view.
