You can set this in Tools->Options->Advanced->General->Always check if Tb is the default mail client .

I suppose the problem is on Windows, you just filed it under Linux.

Sorry I fill bug report in linux but problem is on Windows XP.
This setting Tools->Options->Advanced->General->Always check if Tb is the default mail client
is checked by default, but not solve the problem.
TB is default client, but it is not default client for MAPI. TB should change congiguration, that I wrote, in windows registry.

OK, I do not know what is the difference between being "default client" and being "default client for MAPI". The MAPI maintainer in TB should help here.

in 547565 is problem with sending from adobe reader in Win7 I have problem with sending from MS Word/Excel in WinXp i dont know if the problem is same, probably not.
Bug 618678 is probably same as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=718576 i was reported. But i dont know if help change to mozMapi32.dll or to mozMapi32_InUse.dll in registy. I have delete message "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client." from key prefirstrun and everithing works fine with settings i was send.
