Nonetheless, did you try the advice that I linked yesterday?
Look at the second page where the "Standalone SeaMonkey Mail" extension
<https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/seamonkey/addon/standalone-seamonkey-mail/>
is discussed. It definitely solved your problem 7 years ago.

I believe that SM uses its own protocol handling configuration. When
you click on a URL in SM Mail it normally tries to use the SM browser.
You have to tell it to use something else (or to ask the OS what else
to use) but without overriding its internal use of SM browser
functionality to view HTML mail.
This forum thread
<http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=2438561> may help
- not tested.
I'm not very keen on addons in general, and besides the case, a program
running on Windows OS, should respect it's rules.
It is imho NOT DONE to hostage users that made a browser standard, and
not allowing to change that afterwards.
Someone here advised to uninstall SM, set chrome to default, and
reinstall SM, but with my mailbase from years back, I don't really want
to do that, I had a few crashes over the years, and it's a pain to get
it all back.
I started out with Netscape to ascend the comoners back then, only to
realise now that SM is doing the exact same thing, terrorizing the
"neighborhood" with what sounds to me as inapropriate restrictions).
I need to rethink, maybe try the addon anyway.....
Thanks to everyone for the help!
