launching thunderbird
Date: November 21, 2008 09:42PM

I have in the configure mail for the mail string "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" /m "%1". In the tools menu if the read mail button is clicked Tbird launchs. Cicking Mailto links such as:

mailto:listserv@webber.uk.oup.com?body=subscribe askoxfordwordoftheday-l

tries to launch outlook. What do I have to do to correct this?

Thanks in advance.

Figured it out Goto ControlPanel/internet options/programs
set thunderbird as your default.

Change system default for mailto.

The answer to my query is basically here:

Changing the "mailto" or default mail program

If you use gmail https:// then you will need this patch for it to work.
