At one point I requested help for this and was given a very basic mailto script but I can’t find it and I accidentally deleted the action in KBM.
This script would work regardless of the mail app I have as the default. Could anyone provide that? Thanks!
Hey Brandon,
The KM send-mail action currently has problems on El Capitan, although directly scripting Mail works fine.
Run via Execute an AppleScript action.

Ok so I need to specific the app that I want to use now? What if I want to use Postbox and its to just open a blank email?
Then you're out of luck.
Postbox is just barely scriptable.
It has a send-message command that works, but you cannot affect an already open message.

Ok, will have to make due with another work around then.
Could you use the Open a URL action, with a mailto: URL? That works for me (in Yosemite, anyway; maybe there's a problem in El Capitan?), and opens my default e-mail client.
So you'd do something like:
