Robin can you go to Tools -> Setting -> Adanced and press the check now button to make sure TB is the default email client ?

I am also able to reproduce this error in both OO 3.1 Win English, and an application called WinTotal, which similarly creates a PDF and pre-populates a new message window with the sender, recipient, and PDF as attachment.  The process fails with an unknown error, citing that there is no default email client.  Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 is in fact set as the default client.  Uninstalled 2.0.0.22 and installed 2.0.0.21, problem solved.  This error and solution were replicated and solved in the same manner on 3 Windows XP PCs belonging to a client of mine this morning.
