App

K-9 Mail

App version

8.0

Where did you get the app from?

Google Play

Android version

12 SKQ1.210908.001

Device model

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro

Steps to reproduce

Hold an NFC token with a mailto:... link to the phone

See that the phone offers other mail programs, but not K-9

Expected behavior

Work ...

Actual behavior

Does not work.

I recently had opened issue
Add support for mailto: URI on NFC tag #7755
https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/7755

which was considered as a feature request and closed as implemented in pull #7804.

I just upgraded to version 8.0 of K-9, but it still does not work. The phone still offers Gmail, but not K-9.

Logs

Since K-9 is not launched, there is no logs.

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #7755 and pull request #7804, then reproduce the mailto: NFC behavior on Android 12 with K-9 Mail 8.0. Done means K-9 Mail is offered when an NFC token containing a mailto: link is scanned, alongside the other available mail apps.
