xdg-email does not deal with clients directly; it just constructs a
mailto: URL from its arguments and options (or a mailto: url can be
given directly if that's easier for the caller), and opens it with the
appropriate command depending on the desktop environment: kmailservice
for KDE, gnome-open and exo-open for GNOME and Xfce, respectively. If
the user is not running any of these desktop environments, it opens the
mailto: url in the sensible-browser, in hopes that it'll be configured
correctly to handle mailto: links.
All of that can be overriden by an user script, xdg-email-hook.sh. If
present, it'll be called directly with a mailto: URL. That virtually
gives Rng support for any mail client and user case scenario, even
Manoj's. ;-)
