Yes

So with Mint 17.x Cinnamon, installing exo-open and modifying the script 
resolves the problem.

Modifying xdg-email script detectDE() to include:
elif [ x"$DESKTOP_SESSION" = x"cinnamon" ]; then DE=xfce;

Very many thanks for your help and encouragement!
I'd forgotten that I used to do this for a living!
