I tested sending with claws-email now, previously I used mutt, and all is working, composer window is invoked and file is attached.
I understood this bug was about claws-email but if not it needs a precision.

"xdg-email is a command line tool for sending mail using the user's preferred e-mail composer" so why would it be used in Tools/Options/Internet/Email I don't know.
My understanding is that it's working implicitly, if you don't set Email than xdg-email is used to invoke some (from Default/Preferred Applications).
In my case, when I deleted claws-email path from Email and not from the system, it used mutt.
But I got no screen prompts for the setting of Tools-Options-Internet-Email? Please paste screenshot here.

Mail from mutt was composed and sent but without attachment.
I then changed system mail to claws-email and xdg-email invoked claws-email but without composer window.
So for me, bug is that xdg-email doesn't attach file or compose mail, seen when when having Email empty ie. relying on xdg-email. Mine is version 1.1.2 from Ubuntu 18.04.
But it should be that Ubuntu bug. And there "xdg-utils 1.1.3-4.1ubuntu1.22.04.1 seems to have fixed this".

(1) seems Ubuntu bug. (2) I wrote my view on xdg-utils (3) I asked you to clarify, to have all here, but that would be another issue anyway.
