Hi, and thank you for reporting this.

Can you run the following command:
   nautilus-sendto
...and tell me what the output is?

What Shotwell does is, rather than remember what email client you use
and try to launch it directly, it calls out to Nautilus for this, which,
in turn, keeps a list of default handlers for various types of action.
In this case, we'd be calling nautilus-sendto, which should call
whatever you've chosen as your preferred mail client.

If nautilus-sendto says something like:
   Expect URIs or filenames to be passed as options
...then it's most likely working as intended, and Shotwell is to blame.  

(If nautilus-sendto isn't currently installed on your machine, issuing the 
command
   sudo apt-get install nautilus-sendto
...should restore correct functionality to Shotwell.)
