More important HOW DO I STOP IT ?
Running on Windows 10 Home.
MozUser, you need to remember that SM is a single suite so if you tell
one part of SM to do something which, natively, another part of the
Suite can do, SM will just start up the other portion .... and away you go!!
However, it is possible to tell SM to use a totally seperate e-mail
program, without it effecting your news reader preference, I think.
Have a look at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mail_and_news_settings#Mail. It
may be that you need to alter mail.movemail_program to select
Thunderbird when you click on a "Send To eMail recipient" or whatever.

With my configuration --
Windows 7 Ultimate
SeaMonkey 2.46
Thunderbird 52.1.1 --
I can select a mail-to link in a Web page displayed by SeaMonkey and get
a Thunderbird compose window. To do that, I had to take the following
steps:
1. For SeaMonkey, I set the preference variable
network.protocol-handler.external.mailto to "true".
That looks more like the pref I was looking for. Thanks David!
2. For Thunderbird, I checked the checkbox for making Thunderbird my
default E-mail application when I installed Thunderbird. For an
already-installed Thunderbird, I think (not sure) that same preference
variable should be "false".
3. For Windows, I used Set Default Programs to select Thunderbird for
E-mail and newsgroups. In Windows 7, I reached Set Default Programs by
first setting my Control Panel to view ALL items. There, I selected
[Internet Options > Programs > Set programs > Set your default programs].
I believe #1 and #3 are necessary. #2 is a good thing, too.
