That is because the 'default email reader' is set as Mail.app.
Try opening up Mail.app and going to the general preferences. There is a
drop down list there for you to alter the 'default email reader'.
This step shouldn't actually be required, and is a bug with the plugin. I
have made an issue here:
https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/992
which should be fixed in the next few weeks

But in the meantime, the workaround is to set the email reader to be
"Google Notifier" (which requires you having downloaded Google's Gmail
Notifier app from http://toolbar.google.com/gmail-helper/notifier_mac.html
