From some searching it appears that xdg-open is preferred over gnome-open now - since it works outside of gnome. Testing locally, xdg-open ran mutt twice (first in my current terminal, then in a new terminal) while gnome-open only ran it once (in a new terminal) when I set mutt as my mail client. And didn't send the mail. So I don't think it should be an automated fallback, but an explicitly selected option. Of course, it won't help when their mail client isn't setup (like Evolution for me on Linux, or Mail on OS X).
