Thanks! I'll file a bug for Ubuntu at:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center
(capplets-data is part of that package & I see the '-mail %s' is also
still in the Natty capplets-data gnome-default-applications.xml .deb).
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/capplets-data

Using 'seamonkey %s' works. However, for the bug report I'll recommend
'-compose %s' instead.

Unfortunately, the https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Command_Line_Options
doesn't provide much info, and the syntax rules
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Command_Line_Options#Syntax_Rules)
appear to not to be correct/complete for SeaMonkey.

Thanks for those, particularly the opensuse link. I'll see if I can find
a similar for Debian/Ubuntu.

It does indeed - thanks Jens.

Added note: Looking at the SeaMonkey source files I find multiple files
still contain references to Thunderbird, example:
/seamonkey210source/comm-1.9.1/mail/app-config.mk
<quote>
MOZ_THUNDERBIRD = 1
DEFINES += -DMOZ_THUNDERBIRD=1
</quote>
and
<quote>
# Non-mac options
PROGRAM = ../../../$(DIST)/bin/thunderbird$(BIN_SUFFIX)
</quote>
in the build.mk file in the same folder. Is this normal?
