Yup.

Btw, with <<class errr>>" is optional and compiles to

with error reporting

In Vanilla AS the best you can do is use <<event GURLMAIL>> and then ask the
Finder for the name of the frontmost process. Ugly, and not 100% reliable
'cause if the app isn't running it'll need to be launched, which takes time,
which means the Finder may return another app as being frontmost...

If you don't mind using a third-party Scripting Addition, I believe there is
an "Internet Config OSAX" that can give you the default mail client. You
should be able to find it at <http://www.osaxen.com>.

<<event GURLGURL>>

which compiles to

open location
