Re: [Evolution] Potential Issue casued by Update

Sorry about the delay; The output from xdg-mime query default 'x-scheme-handler/mailto' is "org.gnome.Evolution.desktop" but when I click on that MailTo link it just sits there and does nothing.  Very strange that it popped up out of the blue but I am going to try a few more things today.

My Flatpak of Evolution updated today and now my Mailto is not

working from Chrome Version 104.0.5112.101 (.deb). Chrome is set as

my default in Pop OS 22.04.1 and it worked as recently as last night.

I changed my default email handler to Geary in POP OS and Mailto

works fine in Chrome and Firefox. When changing default email to back

to Evolution Mailto does not work from Chrome but does work from

Firefox and any other browser I have tried. I have completely removed

Chrome and everything relating to chrome and readded but clicking on

a MailTo link in Chrome with Evolution as the default handler does

nothing. Any troubleshooting tips are welcome.

What does

   xdg-mime query default 'x-scheme-handler/mailto'

say?  It should point to the desktop file that is used to start your

copy of Evolution.  Mine says "org.gnome.Evolution.desktop".  That is,

as far as I know, how Chrome handles Mailto: links.

Does chrome give any error messages or do something else when you try a

mailto: link?

BTW, there's lots of things on the web about chrome being difficult

about mailto: links if it is in an iframe or or it's an image or

whatever. Try a different link, such as this w3schools one:
