Thanks Victor,

so in fact what worked was creating a new node() {...} block to wrap my 
whole workflow and inside it I now have a LARGE try / catch and I send the 
failure mail in the catch block.
I did not know I could nest node() {...} blocks but it seems to work.

In the ends, I got this working (syntax might be wrong as I have no jenkins 
access right now but you have the idea):


node {
    try {
        
        node {
            sh 'might fail 1'
         }

        node {
            sh 'might fail 2'
         }

    } catch (e) {
        def w = new StringWriter()
        e.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(w))
        mail subject: "failed with ${e.message}", to: 'admin@somewhere', body: 
"Failed: ${w}"
        throw e
    }
}
