SUMMARY
sharing via email does not work in apps like gwenview and okular

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install gwenview/okular and thunderbird/geary from flathub (using the bundled nightly version of gwenview with kde linux is reproducible as well)
2. Make thunderbird the default email application in settings
3. open a picture with gwenview
4. click share > send via email

OBSERVED RESULT
no email client is being opened

Error while sharing: no mail client found
stdout: qml: No mail client found

EXPECTED RESULT
email client is being opened
