Yeah.  The spam is so overwhelming in the queue that it's impossible to
segment out signal from noise, so all moderated mail gets binned.  Sorry
about that.

Those URIs are passed directly to evolution, so it doesn't go through
gnome-url-handler at all.

Can you try running "evolution <uri>" from the command-line and see if
you get the same error?  If so, this looks like an Evolution bug.  It
very obviously does handle email URIs.
