I thought I'd try to find out a bit more about 'sensible-lomua' which is what exists by default in 
my Tools / Options / Internet / Email.  I guessed that the lomua was Libreoffice mail user agent 
and apparently that has been inherited from OpenOffice where it was 'sensible-oomua'.

There was a bug opened in 2011 by someone who had a similar problem:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/841184

Their solution was simply to replace 'sensible-lomua' with 'thunderbird'  (without the quotes and 
without any path).
