Indeed, using gconf-editor may allow to set some default app. (but that's obviously a workaround, since a regular user should be able to rely on something more straightforward, i.e. a working gnome-default- applications-properties). But even with gconf-editor, you can't select a mailer, since there's no specific option (key) available for this... See screenshot attached.
