Is there a way to add Mozilla Thunderbird to the messaging menu?

Hi,

After installing ubuntu I setup my email in evolution, which is fine but on balance I prefer Thunderbird so I installed and set that up.

Under preferred applications I have set the mail to Thunderbird, but when I click on the icon in the top right (the mail envelope) and select mail it still loads evolution.

Is there a way to switch this to Thunderbird?
