Details
When I set Mozilla Mail as default mail application (Mozilla 1.7), I can right
click a file in Windows Explorer and that will launch Mozilla Mail to send it.
However, when I try File > Send Page... using Firefox 0.9.1, Firefox will launch
Outlook. I first filed this as bug 249311, but then realized it is not a Firefox
bug but rather a bug in how Mozilla Mail sets the default mail application for
Windows.
When I look at Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs Tab > E-Mail
Drop-down, I see that the default is Outlook. I would have expected Mozilla
Mail, since I have that preference set in Mozilla Mail, and also because
right-click, send works from Windows Explorer.
Once I set Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs Tab > E-Mail Drop-down to
Mozilla Mail, Firefox will launch Mozilla Mail to send mail.
Therefore I would expect that when the Use Mozilla Mail as the default mail
application preference is set, it would also set Control Panel > Internet
Options > Programs Tab > E-Mail Drop-down as Mozilla Mail.
