title: mailto: links not opening mail app on Android in cordova app
body: <p>This is driving me crazy. I'm working on a Ionic app (Cordova, Angular etc). I have a contact us link which contains a mailto: href</p>
  
  <pre><code>href="mailto:info@somedomain.net?subject=my%20App"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've read countless posts on SO that say you have to remove </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;access origin="*"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>from the config.xml in the project root and replace it with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;access origin="mailto:*" launch-external="true" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which I've done. When I run <code>ionic build</code> it gets added to the config.xml in <code>platforms/android/res/xml</code>. But no matter what I do the link doesn't open the mail app on any Android simulator (even when email is configured in the simulator).</p>
  
  <p>Sadly I don't have a device to test on - so is this just a emulator thing or am I missing something?</p>
