Choosing email application when opening an email link in a web page

Hi
When I click on an email link in a webpage, Opera is opening Outlook as the default program to send the email. I am using Thunderbird, and would like that as the default email client. Does anyone know how to do this?

Go to Preferences (Ctrl-F12), click the Advanced tab. Then click Programs and Edit the entry for mailto.

The only options available are "yandex", "fastmail" or "mail.ru". Is it possible to add "gmail" to the list please?
