Paul, thank you for this. In fact I had the same issue when testing the
xdg-email support. Except I'm on Xfce. That's why I wrote the new
"Support for external MUAs" section in
/usr/share/doc/reportbug/README.Users.gz. Quick link:

Could you please test this with xdg-email and mailto URIs on the command
line to narrow down the problem and file a bug with your desktop
environment's mailto handling tool?
For Xfce the bug is in libexo-helpers, in exo-compose-email:
