I have Thunderbird 128.9.2 on Windows 11 and run Word 365 I have configured TB as default mail program (see attached)

When I click on FILE > SHARE > EMAIL in Word 365, Word will not start Thunderbird, but wants to install Outlook 2016.

How get I get Word to send a file via Thunderbird instead of trying to configure an out of date version of Outlook?

TB also is not integrated with the Share command in File Explorer, and I doubt it ever will be.
