Calling `open' is clearly the right thing to do here, and it's what the code 
does by default.  Christian Lynbech should investigate how/why his installation 
of the emacs-w3m package caused the unexpected change to the system defaults.  
I would not expect emacs-w3m to make those changes itself, so it's possible 
that Christian configured the change himself and forgot or didn't realize the 
consequences of the change.  

Without making some configuration change to either Emacs or the system, 
browse-url on a mailto URL does the right thing - calls open, which calls the 
configured mail client, which (by default) is Mail.app.  Even in the odd case 
where Mail.app isn't the right tool for sending mail, it will be obvious to the 
user what is going on, and only they can figure out the next steps.
