cannot make Thunderbird default E-mail client

[fredbird67]

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

The tips mentioned in this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=326933) are not working. On my computer, on which I'm running Ubuntu Hardy Heron, all the settings pertaining to this SAY that Thunderbird has been selected as the default E-mail client, but clicking on a "mailto:" link STILL opens Evolution. How can I get Firefox to obey my wishes and quit lying to me and merely paying lip service to Thunderbird? I hates liars...
