That's the Gnome place to specify which application you want to use. OO should honour this setting, instead of requiring another setting in its own preferences. Just my opinion of course.

[ubuntu-uk] Thunderbird, Open office and default mail application in Ubuntu
I've come across this problem before in previous versions of Ubuntu (now using 9.04 and OO 3.0.1). Set Thunderbird as preferred Email client, uninstalled Evolution, and when I go to use the Send function in OO it tells me it can't find the email client. Is there a way round this? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
