I'm not sure what you are saying here (e.g. which "it" gives you the
message about the message-mail default?). However, if you look at the
doc for compose-mail and message-mail, you'll see that compose-mail is a
generic interface to a bunch of different mail composition packages
(including message-mail): you steer it by setting the value of the
variable mail-user-agent. For example, the above setting of
org-link-mailto-program together with

         (setq mail-user-agent 'message-user-agent)

is equivalent to

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

HTH,
