Yes, they are system wide, but the define the "default mail client"
for the system. Log-in as an administrator and run The Bat! to have it
set itself as the default client.

That changes the local "default mail client" not the global one. The
Bat! is trying to set the global one.

This is not really a bug on The Bat!'s part; it's more or a permission
error. However, I hesitate to use "error." Permissions are setup
correctly... Perhaps "side effect" is a better term?
