Hi again. I've searched the posts. It could be to your advantage to
start a new thread. It looks as though this one forked because other
people were having the same problem.
The Multi-Save thing is a separate issue and seems to be a bit of a red
herring. Renewing the user folder or reinstalling then uninstalling the
add-on should dispose of that issue.
As I understand it, if you set Outlook as the system-default email
client, it is invoked by the "Send as email" command but, if Thunderbird
is the system-default email client, OpenOffice cannot find it.
So, three components are involved in the problem:
1. Internet Explorer because it sets the system-default email client;
2. Thunderbird, because it is the luckless email client;
3. OpenOffice, because it can find Outlook Express but not Thunderbird.
The one thing I'm sure of is that everyone involved will blame everyone
else. If you have the energy and time to pursue this, I suspect you
will have to follow all angles.
I have had some luck getting solutions on the Mozilla forum:

If the cause of the problem is Internet Explorer, you may be waiting a
long time for an answer. But you never know your luck. There is a
Google search tool for M$: http://www.google.com/microsoft
I believe this is a M$ issue. I have problems of that kind with my file
associations manager, which definitely seems to favour its own
applications. It is extremely frustrating. :-X
I have a Linux OS, so I can use the setting in Tools >Options >Internet
which evidently does not exist in Windows and Mac versions. All the
command does is open a compose window for Thunderbird with the document
included as an attachment.
Personally, I would prefer to open the compose window in Thunderbird and
take it from there. I see no great advantage in using the OpenOffice
command. Mind you, I have the luxury of four virtual desktops to place
all these application windows on (and they all get cluttered).
