I found an old thread:

How to send emails via thunderbird?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately Thunderbird is a system agnostic program (i.e. it runs on Linux, Unix, OSX, Windows, etc.). And out of those only Windows has any ActiveX stuff. So they didn't add an ActiveX connector for TB.

However, you could send the mail via a command-line. See the help on composing a message via command line options: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments_(Thunderbird)

That you should be able to do from AutoLisp through the startapp function.

MeasureUp, add a ) to the end of the link irneb gave you, as it is shown but the link created omitted that paren.

Sorry, didn't know of this particular problem in the forum's auto linking idea. Edited to manually set where the link's url starts and stops. Thanks for pointing it out Jeff!
