Yes, thanks. That does appear to have done the trick; I've selected
/usr/bin/thunderbird as email client there too - ie, in Settings >

I notice that the Settings > Preferred Applications window, if activated
twice, is labelled 'Gnome-default-applications-properties' and so could
well be inappropriate, but it does seem a pity that so many apparently
but not functionally equivalent procedures coexist.
Gnome and KDE applications/procedures? There has been the beginning of talks
between the desktops about interactivity, but it's not going to happen
overnight. The recent joint conference in Gran Canaria helped get a few idea
started, and maybe next time we have a joint conference (maybe 2011?)
hopefully more progress will be made.
