I had the same problem. It was set to evolution, which I don't have installed
(haven't used it in years).

Very annoying since because of this bug KMail tries to launch evolution when
using the mailing list options in the menu, such as Message → Mailing list →
Unsubscribe (email).

I found out that I had the following entries in
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list:

x-scheme-handler/mailto=userapp-Evolution-8XCMWV.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/mailto=userapp-Evolution-8XCMWV.desktop

I have that file in the same directory:

hactar·⚡ cat ~/.local/share/applications/userapp-Evolution-8XCMWV.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=evolution --component=mail %u
Name=Evolution
Comment=Custom definition for Evolution
NoDisplay=true

After removing the x-scheme-handler lines from mimeapps.list, it finally works!
