No way to control mailto association? #187

A while back I installed Vivaldi browser as a secondary browser in case something doesn't work in Firefox. What I recently discovered is that it has accociated itself with "mailto" MIME type and I couldn't find any way to revert that setting without uninstalling Vivaldi (which I ultimately did). In KControl I have KMail selected as my default mail program and I would expect that mailto links will be handled by the mail program and not by a web browser. I was hoping that I can set the association through File association settings in Konqueror but that doesn't seem to be the case. Two things I learned is that:

  1. Vivaldi adds its associations in /etc/mailcap:
    xdg-mime query default 'x-scheme-handler/mailto'
    vivaldi-stable.desktop
    
  2. there's a file ~/.config/mimeapps.list that contains mailto settings, but it seems as if mailcap entries take precedence?
