Bug Description

just upgraded to jaunty, can we have this plugin back please...?

Fix / Work-around
-------------------------------
Just to make things clear for people who see the same bug and get confused - you *can* send files using Thunderbird.
Although the Send To menu shows "Email (Evolution)" even though Thunderbird may be set as the Gnome default email program, if you click Send, your default email program will be opened to compose the email.

It seems that this version of nautilus-sendto had had the name "Evolution" hardcoded into the menu or something - at any rate the confusing menu will be fixed in Karma.

affects: ubuntu → nautilus-sendto (Ubuntu)

thank you for your bug report, the jaunty version has one email client entry, it's named evolution but uses the default GNOME email client as configured so it should be working with thunderbird

this is confusing and changes previous behaviour

send to - email client (evolution) in the menu should be changed to
send to - email client

just because you force one particular email client on people you should assume it will even
stay installed much less used...
