Just the usual risks of reading a private file not intended for public use.
Calling the native API would isolate you from file-format changes. You are
correct: there is no Java API for it.
I also suggest a look at:
a) the 'open' command, passing it a mailto: URL.
b) Apple's class FileManager.openURL(String)
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Java/Reference/1.4.2/appledoc/api/com/apple/eio/FileManager.html>
However, I suspect that neither of those will give you enough control over the passed-in parameters. But it's worth taking a look and judging for yourself.
And it definitely won't give you the ability to discover if Mail.app or another email client has been set up. I know of no other Java API that will provide such a feature: Launch Services is it.
