easiest way to change preffered email client

[Artur Szymanski]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

Section 9.2.2 Alternative email applications under Internet and Networks contains hint about changing the preffered email client to Thunderbird. The following string: "Click on the Mail Reader drop down menu, and select the Custom option" could be safely change to "Click on the Mail Reader drop down menu, and select the Thunderbird option", because when Thunderbird has been installed from Ubuntu repesitory, it appears on the drop down menu.
For users who installed Thunderbird from external sources, there should be additional point:
"If your Thunderbird is not listed above:" and then two existing points:
"1. Click on the Mail Reader drop down menu, and select the Custom option"
"2. In the Command text box, type thunderbird %s, then close the dialog."

It is not important, so I think it can be change in Karmic.
