Trying `xdg-open mailto:[email-masked]` in XFCE or MATE fails. The
same happens when you click on a mailto link in Icecat. I have
claws-mail and icedove installed. They both have
`MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto;` in their desktop files.

Installing perl-uri-escape does not resolve the issue. Neither adding it
as input or propagated-input to exo.
