Can't Click Links from Evolution

[Douglas Summers]

I haven't touched this problem for awhile, resigned to wait until Mint
19 becomes ready for prime-time (and its 3.28 version of Evolution). I
did find references to both of the packages you mentioned below here - 
https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal. Are these the packages
you were referring to? If so, how do I install/build these into the
Flatpak system?

I really like the Flatpak system; being able to run the latest software
without requiring the most bleeding-edge OS is great.
