Description Pablo 2013-11-16 08:57:36 UTC 
When executing mailto:whoever@wherever.com with krunner one would expect the mail application to open with a new message edition window with that address. Instead it opens http://whoever@wherever.com in the browser.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open krunner.
2. Execute mailto:whoever@wherever.com
Actual Results:  
http://whoever@wherever.com is opened in the web browser

Expected Results:  
Mail application opens with a new message edition window with that address.
Comment 1 Kai Uwe Broulik 2016-03-02 13:58:35 UTC 
There is actually code that checks for exactly that but for some reason between KRunner processing everything and the Location Runner getting the context, a http:// is prepended to the URL and so its check for if (url.scheme() == "mailto") fails
Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2016-03-02 14:04:36 UTC 
Moreover, QUrl::fromUserInput treats "mailto:foo@bar.baz" as invalid email address, it requires mailto://foo@bar.baz; even then KProtocolInfo::isKnownProtocol("mailto") returns false, so there's a lot broken here.

Right now it does not work at all.
