You can try changing all the necessary flags: creator, (you can delete both
FREF & BNDL) and "plst" (look for your app's "CFBundleSignature").
But I'm not sure you can handle a mailto with a "GURLMAIL". I think you
should use a standard "GURLGURL" event, which may be what your app will
receive "on clicked a mailto":
UNTESTED -->
on open location (this_mailto)
log this_mailto --> "
mailto:email@hidden";
End
