Try

        (setq org-link-mailto-program '(compose-mail "%a" "%s"))

The doc says:

,----
| Function and arguments to call for following mailto links.
| This is a list with the first element being a lisp function, and the
| remaining elements being arguments to the function.  In string arguments,
| %a will be replaced by the address, and %s will be replaced by the subject
| if one was given like in <mailto:arthur@galaxy.org::this subject>.
