Error screenshot

GtkAboutDialog says that in order to add authors and documenters, one should use the following format:
"Edgar Allan Poe <edgar@poe.com>"

These authors are properly displayed as links in the Credits section of the about dialog, but if you click on them, an error is shown (tested under Windows 10).
See the attached screenshot.

Tested with gtk 3.22.0, glib 2.52.2.

Thanks

this is gappinfo on windows not supporting mailto: uris. I'm moving this bug to glib.
