Openoffice writer sending mail

[pjhartt]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I have set up Mozilla Thunderbird as my default mail program. When I send a mail message with the file I have written from writer (within writer File > send > document as e-mail) it insists on opening the evolution mail program. It should open my default mail program. If I delete evolution (to force it to use thunderbird) nothing happens at all.
