To reproduce: 0. Fetch trunk build and install it 1. Set another application as default mail client, for example Outlook Express 2. Launch Thunderbird and set TB as default mail client Results: The default mail client in the Windows start menu is still Outlook Express.

Also fixes SeaMonkey. This probably worked on Vista so far because the Vista API function SetAppAsDefaultAll seems to write the HKCU key.

This is a regression?

Probably yes (regression from Bug 404609), see http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/annotate/e4f4569d451a/mail/components/shell/nsMailWinIntegration.cpp#l428. Note that the comment above is only valid for the registry keys below the Clients\Mail key, the actual default mail client (for the Windows start menu) you can set in HKCU just fine. See http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B297878&x=11&y=3 for more information on this.
