It does function as the default email client when set to be through Shredder and/or through Windows Default Programs settings, but the popup never appears. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Case 1 1. Install then launch Thunderbird 3.0b3pre Case 2 1. Go to > Tools > Options > Advanced > General 2. Make sure that "Always check to see if Shredder is the default mail client on startup" is checked. 3. Restart Case 3 1. Remove Shredder as the default email program (leave "Always check to see..." checked). 2. Set a different email client as the default one. 3. Launch Shredder Actual Results: The default email client check popup never appears in any of the cases above Expected Results: The default email client check popup should always appear. I was certain to remove Thunderbird 2 as the default email client when testing Shredder and there wasn't any leftover old files or instances of Shredder (profiles, registry or other) when I ran a default email client testcase for Shredder with a (2nd) clean install. This is apparently a Shredder-Vista issue because the the same feature/function works properly and as expected in Thunderbird 2.0.0.22

WFM here on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090828 Lightning/1.0pre Shredder/3.0b4pre ID:20090828110904 Reporter could you try to see if it still happens with http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/ ?
Will do. I'm going to first look up the Litmus testcase that failed to follow the steps to perform so that I don't miss anything.
Ken, change to WFM?
Ken Saunders (reporter), is this still a problem with tb16 or can we close this "worksforme"?
Flags: needinfo?(KenSaunders)
Hey, sorry for the delay. I'm on Win7 now but WFM is appropriate. I just confirmed this. I was prompted after a new install as well as when I updated to 17.0. Perhaps because of the additional installation? No matter, it works.

Thanks Ken for quick & helpful feedback! wfm per reporter's comment 5
