You may notice that there's no else: I tested it and it works anyways, it should just open the email client. It worked with Thunderbird.

I have created #50 for MacOS based on this! |

We had some discussion on using xdg-email for this, though my version seems buggy so I never got to the bottom of it. The advantage would be that the pre-existing tool is able to properly handle the details of the uri spec, including edge cases. I don't know if it matters, but it still might be a neater solution. |

Well, all the email clients are supposed to support mailto links, including the web browser based ones (GMail and Roundcube do AFAIK). xdg-open shouldn't be a problem. |
|
@Davideddu What was the reason behind reverting back the xdg-email change? |
|
@trivedigaurav it had some bugs when using non-ASCII characters that could early be escaped with xdg-open, mailto and urllib.quote. |
|
Thanks @Davideddu. It looks like xdg-open works better than xdg-email then. @inclement Do you still have any concerns about using this? |
