Strange - but in all the years I've been using LO Writer and email, I've never thought or had 
reason to look at that setting. But now that you've made me curious, I've had a look to see what 
I've got in Tools / Options / Internet / Email and it informs me that my email program is :  
sensible-lomua.

I've no idea what that is. I've used Thunderbird in conjunction with Linux and LO for many years 
and it just worked.

Sorry.
