'Email to' uses wrong app

[alnetloc]

Upon searching and locating a file (say an image file) I right arrow to action on the item, then choose to 'email to' the file, then search and select a contact to send the file to.  All goes fine until email app fires up.  Background:  I have Thunderbird as my default email app - which works just fine with Alfred when I go directly to search and select a contact to launch email.  However, when I use the 'email to' to send a file, my Apple Mail app launches.  ...not what I want.  Any way to solve this?

Thunderbird isn't one of Alfred's supported email clients. By default, Alfred supports Mail.app, Mailplane, Postbox, Postbox Express, Sparrow, Airmail and some versions of Outlook. These applications all support either a) AppleScript or custom urls that provide an api for attaching files. I'm not aware of any such support from Thunderbird. If it does, as a temporary solution, I could help build an email plugin for Thunderbird that would get you the functionality you need. I did do a quick search though and didn't see any mention of such support being available. I think it's just going to be a limitation of using Thunderbird.
