Did you change back using Mail or MailMate?

Yes, that's not good. The whole point of MailMate using the `message:` 
URL scheme was to be compatible with Apple Mail.

I cannot remember how to do this manually, but I think it should work if 
you use MailMate to switch back to Apple Mail (in the General 
preferences pane). If not then I should treat it as a bug.

(In the past I had the problem that Apple Mail would silently “steal 
back” the `message:` URL scheme. I had to add an automatic check in 
MailMate for this where the user is asked whether or not MailMate should 
steal it back without asking whenever this happens. This only happens if 
MailMate is already the default for `mailto:`.)
