Yes, the default email application is only used when the “calling” 
application uses the `mailto:` URL scheme. Some applications use 
Applescript to communicate with a hardcoded email client. In some cases 
it is possible to replace such a script to call MailMate instead of 
Apple Mail. This was true for iCal on Lion, but it changed on Mountain 
Lion where this no longer seems to be possible :-(
