This is what mine shows (taked from 10.3).
<key>U:mailto</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>LSBundleLocator</key>

Being that I know nothing about it structure, I can't say if simply
pasting the above into a 10.4 plist will work. I have no idea what the
data string means, so I don't know if that is some form of encoded path
to my copy of Emailer.
I do notice that the LSBundleSignature refs the MMan creator code. That
is Emailer's creator code. That may be all it needs to launch Emailer,
and it may just be a 10.4 bug that isn't creating the right info
(possibly because Apple has been trying to drop Type/Creator codes from
OS X)
If someone is feeling brave, they can try pasting the above into their
plist in place of the existing mailto entry. Just be sure to back up that
plist before you do, just in case it screws things up.
