MP does not use the standard e-mail client [Solved]

Bonjour,
to send some pictures via e-mail, there's the menu option Tools -> Send by email.
When I use it, MP prompts me to setup an Outlook profile - see the screenshot.
Why?
In XnView Classic this did not happen.
I have checked the "Use standard e-mail client" and have set Thunderbird as my default mailing app within Windows' control panel.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you!
Dirk

Hello, I have this still in 1.91.
Obviously, MP trys to start Outlook instead of the default mailing app which is set in Windows settings.

I was able to fix it.
In Thunderbird, go to Tools -> Settings -> System Integration -> Check now.
The "Default App" in MS Windows' preferences didn't help, for whatever reason.
Thank you for your help!

Hello, I'm using the last version (2.52.1) i tried to send pictures through email.
It doesn't use my thunderbird client (even if it's the system default for email) i checked both the system settings, and double check with thunderbird settings .
It's open an old GUI style email. And of course emails are not sent.
I've read at the thread below, but the tips do not work for me.

Hello, I'm using the last version (2.52.1)...
Your issue relates to XnView Classic rather than 'MP, so could you please raise it in that forum section, if appropriate referring to this post...
