Hi
I am using Leopard 10.5 and I would like to use iCal with thunderbird, cos I disable Apple Mail.
How to tell iCal which mail application or client to use?

Thanks
 
I believe iCal will use the default mail client whichever that maybe. I used to Eudora and everything automatically linked to it be it from the browser or any other programs that needed to send emails.
 
Ah yes, I was mistaken, iCal will only send invitations via Mail.app. Don't think you can change it. This was from the iCal Help "If you’ve set up Mac OS X Mail, you can use it to invite people to an iCal event."
 
In fact iCal use some hidden applescript to send the invitation.

They are located in ical.app/contents/resources/scripts/mail.scpt.

Modify the part to achieve your goal:
on send_mail_sbrp(subjectLine, messageText, myrecipient, myrecipientname, invitationPath)

You need to be very careful. Make a copy of the original mail.scpt prior to any modification.

If you know applescript then you will be able to send it from ThunderBird.

This is I think the only way to do it
 
I tried Editing mail.scpt. All I changed was "Mail" to "Thunderbird", when I save it I got an error expecting a comma. I am on Mac OS 10.5.7.
