Bug description

Some imported contacts from Gmail using a .vcf file (which ones i cant tell) dont have an email type set by default, which prevents from sending a group mail to a group within which they are. Nextcloud just refuses to make the "email application choosing" window appear, probably because it cannot read their email adress as such.

Steps to reproduce

1. Export Google contacts into a .vcf file
2. Import them to Nextcloud from the Contacts pannel
3. Some contacts don't have a Email type set by default ("Domicile" "Travail" and "Autres" stand for "Personal" "Work" and "Other"): https://i.imgur.com/XYlD2mP.png
4. Create or use an already existing group in which one or several of these contacts will be
5. Try sending an email to the whole group through the Contacts UI: https://rimgo.esmailelbob.xyz/IPyq35h.png
6. Nothing happens.

Expected behavior

On computer, the web-browser should prompt me with a window asking me for which mail app i want to use, or send me straight to the mail app i chose before if i did so.

Ran into this today, it's annoying as the mailto link will pop up with no actual emails specified.
