Hi Ross,

the default setting for `org-link-mailto-program' is currently

    (browse-url "mailto:%a?subject=%s";)

which means that Org will leave it to the browse-url package to
decide how to send a message.

Browse-url uses the variable, `mail-user-agent'
Try customizing this variable.  I think you want to set
it to `gnus-user-agent'.
