When I start kmail without "starttde" -
from xterm under fvwm for

Same for me starting TDE applications. Not only Kmail asks for the kind
of program to be used to open any application. Even Konqueror asks for it
when adviced to open something in an external window. It opens PDF, PNG
and others fine in its internal viewer though.
It sounds to me like KMail etc. are failing to find a list of associations
between mimetypes and applications, but I'm not sure where that information
is stored (I do seem to remember than KDE3 did not follow the standard for
storing that information that's now used by most desktops--did we ever
update

When TDE starts up normal as the default DE, lots of "declare -x XDG_=*"
Trinity "stuff" gets set. Check your export command and compare the
difference for a TDE session and a FVWM session.
