No. Try 'echo "$@">/tmp/log' at the top of your mail script.

That worked! And even handles multiple attachments correctly, even
though xdg-email uses multiple "attach" headers (which
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6068#page-6 warns against). Maybe open a
bug report on this? It looks like an improvement to me.

I don't know how attachments are handled by other mailto-users though –
multiple identical hfname's or some separator in the hfvalue like with
the "to" header?
