I.m not too good at gnome, but it's probably similar to kde in this
respect. When logged in (su'd) as root, you were probably changing
root's preferences and not those of your user account. It's set up so
that each user can set things up their way without affecting anyone else.

I had a similar problem trying to use kmail, and it seemed as if

I'm running kde.
Try running
gnome-default-applications-properties
in a console, and set the mail reader to thunderbird.
Also, if you are running kde, try setting thunderbird as the default
mail
application in Control Centre - KDE components - component chooser.
Thank you for your help. It worked. But why is the feature in OOo
for selecting the e-mail application so ineffective? I have a bug
report in (#61486) in the hope that the obvious problem will be
fixed. I forgot to add that I am using XFCE4, which seems to prefer
Gnome-set-up application references.
Interestingly enough, when I changed the gnome defaults while logged
on as su, it had no effect. It only worked when I changed the gnome
defaults while in user's desktop mode.
