Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
I'm running 11.04 Beta1, upgraded from 10.10 netbook edition. I have Thunderbird installed as my default email client. In 10.10, if I opened the Preferred Applications dialog in the Control Center, I could choose between Evolution and Thunderbird as my default mail client. Since upgrading, Evolution is the only option given. However, I am able to choose between Firefox and Chromium for my web browser. Thunderbird sets itself as the default mail client when I run it; however, this isn't reflected in the Preferred Applications GUI. Ideally, I should be able to select Thunderbird as my preferred email reader, so that when I click on Check Email in the Unity dash, Ubuntu opens Thunderbird rather than Evolution. I guess I could switch to Evolution but I think my choice of email client should be respected by the OS.
