You just need to set your default email program to be Emailer! Apple has made this less than obvious in 10.3.x and higher. There are several ways to get it done though.
Open Mac Mail, and Pull down the blue Apple menu to "preferences, then Click the "General" tab. Choose Emailer as your default email program there. There are also some helpful System Preference doohickies that can do this sort of thing too. I use both "more Internet" and "RCDefaultApp" which you can easly find via http://www.Versiontracker.com Once you have successfully selected Emailer as your default email application, then you won't have to mess with any other email program for any reason. Hope this helps.
