I have a similar problem.  When I click Read mail from the Tools Menu or the 
menu button, Firefox opens MSN Explorer when my default email handler is 
Microsoft Outlook.  Please Help!!!

This is working for me with TB 1.0 and FF 1.0, under Windows 2000.

I have this problem. Read mail was opening Foxmail 4.1 even though I had set my
internet mail client to Thunderbird 1.0. I went through the registry and changed
all foxmail.exe entries to point to foxmail 5.0 (in a different folder) instead
of Foxmail 4.1 -- Now nothing happens when I click Read mail. I can find nothing
in Docs to indicate where Firefox gets the mail program path. Compose new mail
does fire Thunderbird - go figure.
