Gnome-

 From : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=18175

Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor

  Look for...
  Key name: /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command
  Key value: /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird %s (originally points to 
evolution)

KDE -

1) Alt+F2, type "systemsettings" OR "kcontrol" (depends whether you use 
KDE4 or KDE3 respectively)
3) Default Applications => /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird
