** Description changed:

  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 )
+ to open an external email client.
  
  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)
