Add Entourage to the Email Internet prefs panel

Based on the add default web browsers article, add the following bit of code to the same file in the email section:
{
DisplayName = "Entourage";
Info = { CreatorCode = "OPIM"; };
}This should add Entourage as a choice for email applications in the Email tab of the Internet preferences panel.
I tried getting Mozilla to work as the default mail app, but both CreaterCode = "MOZZ" or BundleIdentifier = "com.mozilla.mozilla" just bring up the browser, not a new email message window. I also tried stuff like BundleIdentifier = "com.mozilla.composer", etc.. but none worked. However, if you choose the "Select.." option in the default mail app selection and select Mozilla, it brings up a browser window with mailto:blah@foo.com, and then opens up a new email message window.. I prefer Entourage anyway, but this should still work someday.
[Editor's note: The path to the file to edit has changed sometime between the original article and today. The DefaultHelperApps.plist file can now be found in /System -> Library -> PreferencePanes -> Internet.prefPane -> Contents -> Resources -> English.lproj. I tested this hint, and it worked just as described. Make sure you put a trailing "," after the last close bracket if this is NOT the last email client listed.]
