One can read or write preferences plists as "domains" using the 'defaults'
command. AFAIK, it works regardless of plist file-format, too.
Its output is a brief text-oriented notation using parens, brackets,
braces, quotes, etc. to delimit different things. I think it's called "the
old plist format" or something prosaic, and predates XML. I vaguely
someone once wrote a parser for it, but I can't remember who, and I don't
have it in my Frequently Pasted URL's file.
For LaunchServices, the domain is com.apple.LaunchServices, so see this:
defaults read com.apple.LaunchServices
I definitely see a "U:mailto" entry, and the app is listed as
"com.apple.mail", which is another domain for 'defaults', as in:
defaults read com.apple.mail
to read Mail.app's defaults.
When reading 'man defaults', remember that "domain" refers to an app's
unique CFBundleIdentifier, from its Info.plist file.
