I have the same issue… Can not launch Mailspring from Powerpoint when you want to share the presentation via email

#3

It’s the other way around: set the default mail app in Mail to be Mailspring

  • Open the Mail app.
  • From the menu bar, choose Mail > Settings (or Preferences).
  • Click General.
  • Choose an email app from the “Default email reader” pop-up menu. —> Pick Mailspring
