Bug Description
To reproduce install a fresh install of lubuntu 18.10 and then
0. make sure an email client is installed (currently there is none on 18.10)
1. open qterminal
2. type `falkon mailto:<email address hidden>` and hit enter
I get a falkon browser saying chrome-
It should be noted Firefox and qutebrowser (another QtWebEngine browser like Falkon) both fail to exhibit the 100% CPU usage, nor does xdg-open. qutebrowser does not open an email client, so there's also likely an issue with QtWebEngine.
Other URI schemes like tel: and sftp: also fail similarly.
Upstream bug report: https:/
…appears fixed in current master.

I guess fixing the mimetypes would solve that. So it is not a problem in featherpad, it's a general problem in application handling.
