Found it. I just loaded up a test Ubuntu 10.10 with the default
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml
showing:
SeaMonkey:
<executable>seamonkey</executable>
      <command>seamonkey -mail %s</command>
      <icon-name>seamonkey</icon-name>
      <run-in-terminal>false</run-in-terminal>

I then installed SeaMonkey 2.0.10 from the Ubuntu repositories and set:
 System|Preferences|Preferred Applications|Mail Reader|
to SeaMonkey and find the it is using
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml for the
setting (-mail %s).

I then modified:
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml
$ gksu gedit /usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml
and changed
<executable>seamonkey</executable>
      <command>seamonkey -mail %s</command>
      <icon-name>seamonkey</icon-name>
      <run-in-terminal>false</run-in-terminal>
to
<executable>seamonkey</executable>
      <command>seamonkey %s</command>
      <icon-name>seamonkey</icon-name>
      <run-in-terminal>false</run-in-terminal>
and rechecked System|Preferences|Preferred Applications|Mail Reader| and
find that it has changed to reflect the change in
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml (to
'seamonkey %s').

So the issue appears to be related to
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/gnome-default-applications.xml. Now, the
question is: where did gnome get those settings from? Mozilla, old Gnome
files, etc?

I'll dig a little further tomorrow if I have time.
