You could try to relink the binary from the command line with
install_name_tool. On my 10.4.11 system, it is linked to

/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKi t

You could change this to point to another WebKit library with something
like

install_name_tool -change /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKi t /Foo/Bar/Bletch/NewWebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail

However, I would back up your Mail.app first! No promises that this would
work, YMMV, batteries not included, please see your physician for execution
time lasting longer than four hours.
