FWIW, I have seen what is maybe the same problem, mostly with
attachments that are some Windows filetype not readable in Linux.
The "Open with" list comes up with whatever files are in some
directory where I was working in another window, things like C
source code files, nothing connected with any *.desktop file.
(I have evol. 3.28.5, didn't report this because it is sporadic.)
To original poster:  are you seeing actual apps on your "Open with",
or files that are not even executable?
