Thanks for your comment.<br />

Unfortunately, that doesn't do the trick. I have set the option you suggested and the T-bird opens for keyboard shortcut and for &quot;mailto&quot; links in web pages, but not in a situation when I use right-click option in the file manager. It's kinda stuck on Evolution... <br />

Hi.<br />
<br />
I think the file manager in Ubuntu is &quot;nautilus&quot;, please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, if I use the right-click on a file I can use the &quot;send to&quot; option, but the default operation seems to be e-mailing using &quot;Evolution&quot;, which I don't use. I use Thunderbird as the default mail program. <br />
<br />
How can I tell the file manager that I don't want to use &quot;Evolution&quot; and point it to T-bird instead?<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Configuring the file manager in Ubuntu

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
