Description bobluck 2008-12-28 02:30:39 UTC 
While attempting the use the menu command in Writer the File>Send>Document as
E-Mail... opens the Mail application shipped with OS X instead of the installed
Thunderbird Application, which is configured as the default email client. The
send to functionality seems to work until the point it has to use the default
email program, then it can't seem to find the default and opens and attaches the
document to the email program it finds, but not the default.

It seems not to be an OOo issue
Safari and Acrobat-Reader are also not able to connect to thunderbird.
From my point of view only firefox is able to start thunderbird.
If someone do confirm my experience, we can close this issue.

A similar problem with Windows. Writer opens Outlook rather than the default
email program, Thunderbird.
Comment 3 le_corbeau 2009-02-09 23:28:17 UTC 
Problem resolved in Windows with OO 3.01 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.19

Can confirm HI's pov. It looks, that Thunderbird cannot register in MacOS like
in Windows. So it is not possible for other Apps to lanch it.
