In Nautilus (at least in 9.04 and 8.04) if you right click there is an 
option "send to". You have to set Thunderbird as your preferred 
Email-Client in Settings -> Preferred Applications-> Internet.
(Or just execute gnome-default-applications-properties in a Terminal, 
the window will pop up.)


If you use the right click send to option in Nautilus, you have 3 options:
"Send as"
1. Email (Evolution)
2. Removable Disks and Shares (never used that)
3. CD/DVD Creator

If you want to send an Email select the first option even if it says 
Evolution (you are not required to enter an email address in the "send 
to field"). If you selected thunderbird as your default email client the 
thunderbird compose message dialogue pops up when you click on "send". 
Then you can access the thunderbird contact list as well.

Your problem should be solved.

If Evolution is shown even when Thunderbird is selected, I would 
consider this a bug. Maybe a karmic user could check this behaviour and 
file a bug if it is still present.
