LO doesn't actually call /usr/bin/WSENDTO with the document's pathname 
as an argument (as one might expect).  What rather happens, for better 
or worse (see CmdMailSuppl::sendSimpleMailMessage at 
<https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/refs/heads/master/shell/source/cmdmail/cmdmailsuppl.cxx#112>), 
is that LO calls its senddoc helper script (see 
<https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/refs/heads/master/shell/source/unix/misc/senddoc.sh>) 
with lots of arguments, among them `--mailclient` `/usr/bin/WSENDTO`.

And that senddoc script then tries to guess from the given mail client's 
basename what program that is, and knows how to pass it along all the 
other arguments, potentially specifying the mail's to, cc, body, 
attachment, etc.  But that senddoc script doesn't know anything about a 
mail client with basename WSENDTO, so gives up and tries something like 
xdg-email instead, but which apparently doesn't lead to any success with 
your setup, either.
