Fix it !!

Thank you both !!

Following your suggestion Eli I just tried to understand the 
send-mail-function, and then found that it uses the 
`browse-url-mailto-function' which needs some specific customisaition

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic)
(setq browse-url-generic-program "path/to/mailclient")

and it worked :)
