Thanks Tobias for a pointer to the xdg-email script.
I'll try and see if I can figure out what is going on ...

I'm using Mint17.3 Cinnamon(64bit) with Thunderbird
The script runs fine, creates the file in .local/tmp and the Subject and 
Body fields as expected, opens Thunderbird message, but fails to pass 
the message as an attachment.

I'm pretty sure this a Thunderbird issue and not either dt or the 
xdg-email script though.

See below the output of XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=5 darktable

[email] launching `xdg-email --subject "images exported from darktable" 
--body " - PK5_3612.jpg (1/750 f/13.0 118mm iso 400)\n" --attach 
"/home/rlch/.local/tmp/PK5_3612.jpg" &'

DE is "gnome"

Checking /usr/share/applications/defaults.list

grep: /home/xxxx/.local/share/applications/: Is a directory

Running gvfs-open 
"mailto:?subject=images%20exported%20from%20darktable&body=%20%2D%20PK5%5F3612.jpg%20%281/750%20f/13.0%20118mm%20iso%20400%29%0D%0A&attach=/home/rlch/.local/tmp/PK5%5F3612.jpg";

(process:10828): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 
'sys_page_size == 0' failed

This final line is a Mozilla error message and I guess that may be where 
the issue is.

If I discover anything useful I'll come back with it.
