Steps how to reproduce with DE SeaMonkey 2.35(a) (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:38.0 nightly by Adrian Kalla) Gecko/20100101 Build 20150615204754 (Classic Theme) on German WIN7 64bit: 1. Uninstall Seamonkey 2.33.1 2. Install above mentioned Version in c:\Program Files\ 3. If necessary: Menu 'Edit → Prferences → Mail & Newgroups → Make SM Default application for Mail, News, Feeds' (I had to do that for Mail, News) 4. Try to send an ODF (OpenOffice) document as PDF via e-mail expected: SM opens, Mail Composer opens new mail with PDF attachment actual: Nothing happens for running Seamonkey, MS Browser will open if SM did not already run Additional information: a) This as an inofficial build, so currently low priority b) Default installation folder for this version was "c:\Program Files\" instead of "c:\Program Files (x86)\", I can't tell whether that is related (I am used to see ...(x86)". One attempt to intall in ...(x86) failed, I had to stop that after 20 minutes. c) In step 4 Win will ask for Administrator permissions, so it seems that something happens as expected, and the 2 buttons in SM dialog ([Mail], [News] will be greyed out later, and become active after I will have made TB default Mail app for testing. But SM 35 will not become default Mail application, although some SM I don't know how to find what SM) is listed in WIN Standard Programs Dialog as default application for Mail.

d) uninstall 2.35 and installation of EN-US SeaMonkey 2.33.1 (German Language pack) Gecko/20100101 Build 20150321194901 (Classic Theme) on German WIN7 64bit heals the problem, that version becomes default mail application as expected. e) I am not sure, but I think I also observed that problem with an other 2.35 64 Bit build f) I will try a 2.35 32 bit build later.

g) Works fine with 32Bit DE SeaMonkey 2.35(a) (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0 nightly by Adrian Kalla) Gecko/20100101 Build 20150615204754 (Classic Theme) on German WIN7 64bit g1) So probably 64Bit build problem? g2) Or related to location of installation "c:\Program Files\" instead of "C:\Program Files (x86)\"? @Adrian: What do you think?

It's definitely not g2). With a 64 bit Windows, "C:\Program Files (x86)" is reserved for 32 bit applications and "C:\Program Files" for 64 bit applications. Because of that, SeaMonkey 64 bit installation into "C:\Program Files" is absolutely correct. So at the end, it'll be g1). It would be interesting to know, if this also affects Thunderbird and/or (somehow) Firefox.

I tried "Thunderbird 41.0a1 (2015-06-19)" h) TB 64 Bit shows more or less the same problems. h1) Mailto links will use TB correctly h2) Send to email recipient from WIN Files Explorer: will crash Thunderbird h3) Send Document as PDF from AOO I will have to check "Mailto" for seamonkey again.

(In reply to Wayne Mery (:wsmwk, use Needinfo for questions) from comment #8) My suspect, too. But not yet tested all aspects. I found a possibly related Linux SeaMonkey "Bug 1226839 - Impossible to make Mail/News default application (for "send from WIN Explorer", "Send document (as PDF)", "mailto:")", some aspects are similar, some are completely different.
