Description Pierre THOMAS 2023-10-25 07:49:58 UTC 
I use Mageia Linux. I defined KMail as the default mail client.
When clicking on the button "Envoyer par e-mail un lien vers la page"  (Send by email a link to the page), this opens a compose windows of KMail, it is OK. But the sending account is not the account of the default identity : it must be the account of the default identity !  Or what else ??!!  What is the account chosen by KMail ? (if there is a choice ??)

The description of this bug fits my problem, and it is one of the last few issues preventing me from switching back to Kmail.

Send link from Firefox sends the link via Kmail composer, when email is opened in it is not a clickable link.
Send the link from Firefox with Thunderbird as default and using Thunderbird composer and opening in Kmail a clickable link is produced.

Please fix Kmail Composer to send a clickable link when emailing a link from Firefox.

Thank You.
