Marco,

I found a registry key at HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail that contains the list of selections on the IE properties programs tab for the default mail client. The main key has a "Default" value which contains the user's selection and points to a subkey by the same name.

In my machine that key doesn't contain the correct mailer (probably because I don't use IE neither)
