Can't open web links from e-mails in default browser

[XxTriviumxX]

Hi! I used to be able to open links in my default browser. I re-installed arch linux and electronmail and it wont open links in my default browser anymore. version 5.2.2. Is there a setting i could not see? Like a button to click somewhere..?

Copying the link and paste it in my browser works for now...

If the same app version worked and then stopped working, it's on your side. It's handled by XDG/open on Linux, so this is where you would start the research. Make sure first that xdg-open your-link-here console command opens the link in a default browser.

the "xdg-open github.com" command opens github.com on my browser as it should

Links opening being handled by @electron's shell.openExternal call. You could use it as a keyword when looking up things on the internet.

My issue is with the flatpak version. I tried opening links with webcord, which is another electron app i installed as a flatpak. It didn't work there either. What do you think i should do about it?

note: links open in any other apps but them.

I had this issue with flatpak apps since middle of October last year for about one month when it got self-fixed. Since I didn't do anything specific to fix it, I come to the conclusion that it got fixed by updates of the system or/and flatpak's system stuff.

my OS has been freshly re-installed last week.

Anyways, i could simply wait like you said. I'll report back if it works again.
