            Bug ID: 423450
           Summary: Email links fail when clicked
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: david.cortes.rivera at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
If I set some default email application, when I click an email link (e.g.
mailto:someone at somewhere.com) in some browser that supports them and that
redirects it to the system's email client (e.g. chrome and chromium-based
browsers such as Vivaldi, but not Firefox which uses its own system), I get the
following error:

org.kde.pim.kmime: stringToMailbox: Invalid address
org.kde.kitinerary: Cannot find external extractor: "kitinerary-extractor"
Release of profile requested but WebEnginePage still not deleted. Expect
troubles !

And nothing happens after having clicked the link.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a default email client (System Settings -> Personalization ->
Applications -> Default applications -> Email Client).
2. Launch some chromium-based browser.
3. Click on some mailto link in the browser (e.g. from this same page or some
random page within this bugtracker, such as this one:
https://bugs.kde.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=AVKode - the default
asignee is a mailto link)

OBSERVED RESULT
Should launch the default email client with a new email message window opened.

EXPECTED RESULT
Does nothing, other than throwing the error mentioned at the beginning when the
browser is launched from a terminal.
