mail link on any browser: Unable to create io-slave. klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'mailto'.

both on firefox and on chrome i get
Unable to create io-slave. klauncher said: Unknown protocol ‘mailto’.
when clicking an email link.
My mailer is thunderbird.

Whats wrong??

What is defined in systemsettings5 -> Applications -> Email Client?

Actually it was _Thunderbird but also Thunderbird was offered.
If i choose that, it doesnt work either, but that time fails without message.

If you create a new user will it show the same behaviour?

Did you go into System Settings, then Applications to verify that you have the Email Client set?

I had the same problem. I could choose between two clients with the identical name ‘Thunderbird’. Selecting the other one solved it for me.
Thanks!

I got the same mileage as abruenin (thank you!). I also added a note to this bug:
