Omarchy ships no mail client, so mailto: links only work for whoever kept the HEY web app. Thunderbird is the obvious desktop answer and it is right there in extra, so install it like any other service and let it take over the mailto: handler while it is around.

Removal handed mailto: back to the HEY web app, but anyone who had run "omarchy remove preinstalls" was left with mailto: pointing at a desktop file that the very next line uninstalls. xdg-mime cannot clear an association, so drop the lines it wrote instead. Lists that name other handlers as well are left alone, since those were curated by hand. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
