[DUG] Open new email in default browser

[Jolyon Direnko-Smith]

The mailto URI scheme does not support attachments.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6068

Specific email clients may provide extensions to the URI scheme that allow
that email client to support attachments via a mailto: URI but by
definition these extensions will not be universally supported and so fail
the test of "working with the user's default email client (whatever that
may be)".
