@Alex,

I just determined that Acrobat has the same issue.

Adobe points the finger at Mozilla, and mozilla reciprocates. Moreover,
setting thunderbird as your default mail client on OSX from MacMail will
NOT result in TBird being regarded as the default mail client by some
applications, lol.

There may in fact be a command line option for invoking a Tbird envelope
from inside the package without invoking a new instance of Tbird - seems
to me I had to address something like that on aix quite a few years ago.
Unfortunately I tried
/Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird-bin -silent
-compose
and that did not work (resulted in the behavior you mention) and adding
quotes results in LO not being able to find an e-mail app.

Went back to look at my ancient version of NeoOffice and that won't even
start now....
