“Mail” and “Contacts” bring up Evolution, even if it’s not the default mail application

[Alex Mauer]

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

Since I use Thunderbird as my primary email client, I have set it as the default email client in System->Preferred applications.

However, despite expressing this preference, the indicator applet still brings up Evolution for “Mail”, “Contacts”, and “Compose New Message”. It should follow my indicated preference and use Thunderbird instead.

Isn’t that one about what application appears in the applet? Currently (Ubuntu 10.04) no applications appear in the applet, just functions (chat and email)

it's the same issues, those function should be for the default software
