How to configure Send to > email recipient to use Thunderbird in Windows 11

Luminary99

Thunderbird is set as the default email client, and clicking "mailto" links on web pages and in Word aor PDF documents works just the way it should.

However, the right-click context menu "Send to > email recipient" insists on using Outlook. I've seen a number of threads on this topic, but no definitive solution. This used to be so simple back in Windows 7, but Microsoft seems to have made it much more difficult -- or impossible -- to properly configure this setting.
