Is it possible to make an AppleScript application a URL handler?

I'm trying to find a solution for my parents... They have a Yahoo email account and don't want to switch to anything else, but are confused by the fact that Apple Mail opens whenever they click on a "email us" link.

Is there anyway to specify that an AppleScript app can handle mailto URLs? I've built an app to accept the url and and open a new email message in safari and tried to set it as the default email client in Mail and even the Default Apps preference pane (http:// www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/), but every time I do, it just snaps back to Apple Mail.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there an existing solution to this problem that I haven't seen? I've thought about installing Greasemonkey in Safari, but I'd prefer to stay away from anything that could cause some instability in their browser...
