Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

The ability to use right click context menus to "send to" Thunderbird is missing. I have believe this feature is available with other distributions. I am a fan of Thunderbird and have removed Evolution to the best of my ability from Ubuntu 9.04. It seems that Evolution is being forced down users throats and perhaps the Thunderbird support was pulled. Please don't lecture me why I should be using Evolution. I appreciate the choices available to me with Linux. This bug may be related to bug #1. If I wanted to be forced to use a specific package I would have stayed with XP!

Perhaps libnstthunderbird.so should be included?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You are right, the "send to..." menu should indicate the mail client we use (i use thunderbird too).

I expect to see "Email (thunderbird)" with the icon on the selection menu like you.

By the way i tried this function and the results are this tool use the program selected on your gnome-default-applications-properties to send the mail. So if you have selected Thunderbird or Mozilla Thunderbird (why two?) in it this "sent to..." works but don't have the right name on the selection.

I change the package beacause is not thunderbird related, but an issue with nautilus-sendto

Tanks
