I had a quick look at the source of the nautilus-sendto package, which
does the work. I'm not sure I understood it completely, but there was a
sub-directory called 'plugins', with source code for an evolution plugin
and one for gaim.

The one for evolution does some address lookups in the evolution address
book and then invokes evolution to send the message. I guess this could
be modified to produce a Thunderbird plugin, but it looks like it's more
than justy a config hange to acheive what is being asked for.

Regards,
Tony.
