Change Default Email On Mac

Unless I'm missing something obvious, this is one of the more maddening anti-consumer things I've seen Apple do... So I'm on a corporate laptop, and like 95%+ of Fortune 500 companies (for better or worse) we use Outlook. Cool, I want to set Outlook as my default mail client.


Google results, and Apple's own support articles, tell me that the only way to change the default mail application (since like 10.7), is to open Mail, go to 'Preferences', and change the default program.

On Yosemite I would open Mail, go to Preferences and change the Default Email Application in the menu to Outlook. I can do that on El Capitan but as soon as I close preferences and open it again the setting is back to Mail.
