[ubuntu-uk] Thunderbird, Open office and default mail application in Ubuntu

[Gordon]

I've come across this problem before in previous versions of Ubuntu (now
using 9.04 and OO 3.0.1).

Set Thunderbird as preferred Email client, uninstalled Evolution, and
when I go to use the Send function in OO it tells me it can't find the
email client.

Is there a way round this?
