Title:
  Can't select Thunderbird as Mail Reader in Preferred Applications

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
