Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Summary:
When sending a file via the Send To option in Nautilus, the "Send As" drop down lists "Email (Evolution)" even when the preferred email application has been changed to Thunderbird. However, after clicking Send, it does open the Thunderbird message compose window as expected.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set Thunderbird as the default email reader in System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications
2. Right click on a file in Nautilus or on the desktop
3. Select "Send To"
4. In the Send To window, select the option that reads "Email (Evolution)" in the "Send as" field
5. Enter an email address in the "Send to" field
6. Click "Send"
7. The Thunderbird message compose window appears with correct recipient and file attached

Expected behaviour:
In step 4 above, the email option should read "Email (Thunderbird)" as per the preferred application settings

Actual behaviour:
In step 4 above, the email option reads "Email (Evolution)" even though the preferred application being Thunderbird and Nautilus correctly launching Thunderbird
