Distinguishing scriptlets for Apple Events

My apologies if this issue is not germane to the list, but...

I'm trying to write a script to catch mailto: links when they are clicked on and redirect the user to a web email client rather than a conventional application. The script appears functional with an "on <<event GURLMAIL>>" handler, but when compiled into a script application the browser can never find it, even immediately after setting the preferences. Instead, another script application is chosen, more or less at random. In 9, you'd expect changing the creator to fix the problem but, not surprisingly, this doesn't work in X. Putting the script in a standalone Smile application produces similar results, the browser just wants to use Smile itself instead. I'm in the mood to try out Applescript Studio, and might unleash on this problem, but are there any simpler solutions for tweaking a more conventional script application to work?

Sincerely,
Joshua See
