--- Comment #3 from pharmankur <[email protected]> ---
Immediate solution to this bug is to use geary as your email client.
The reason is also funny ... (scroll down to know this)
But that is not solving the actual problem ... which is WHY THUNDERBIRD STOPPED
working with Libreoffice since 6.1 ?
Why on earth try to update something with is already working and instead of
making it better end up in breaking everything.
I have confirmed this bug with every release of LO since 6.1.0 and there seems
no improvement since then.

-----------------------------------
After upgrading to Linux Mint 19 + Thunderbird 60 + Libreoffice 6.1 ; Emailing
through the macro suddenly started behaving strangely. The email body text
generated through macro started appearing in Recipient email boxes in
thunderbird and is not usable.
Setting up Thunderbird as email client [ Libreoffice --> TOOLS --> OPTIONS -->
INTERNET --> E-MAIL --> EMAIL PROGRAM --> browse & set to -->
/usr/bin/thunderbird ] in libreoffice is also not working; as it is no more
firing up thunderbird.
I do not know what is going wrong , Also I dont know whether bug is in
Libreoffice Or Thunderbird Or somewhere else.
But here is the finely working workaround ---
Solution is to use geary email client, Set GEARY as default email client in
linux mint. Also set geary in libreoffice [ Libreoffice --> TOOLS --> OPTIONS
--> INTERNET --> E-MAIL --> EMAIL PROGRAM --> browse & set to -->
/usr/bin/geary ]
------------------------------
Tried with Libreoffice 6.0.7.3 in Linux Mint 19 & with Thunderbird 60.2.1
(64-bit) --- And it worked charmingly as before !!!
So definitely Libreoffice 6.1 has the bug, strangely specific to THUNDERBIRD
only ... as GEARY works in both version of libreoffice.
Thank you !!!

I have received following reply in some other forum

------->
GEARY works simply because it is not named in program senddoc, which then uses
xdg-email as a default, to call the system email client, whatever it is. But
hey, as an entry in Tools/.../Internet, it works!
So, possibly, would "/usr/bin/wxyz" ...
