In your case may I suppose you're using GNOME?
I think there's a place where you assign default apps (System Settings?
gnome-tweak-tool?).
You could try the xdg-mime method maybe with:
xdg-mime default mozilla-thunderbird.desktop text/calendar

How do I change the default
application for playing a video file
received from an iPhone [.mov]?
Presently I have to save it and play with vlc which works
perfectly.
Something called "Parole" is all that is offered and I
have never
succeeded in playing anything using it, considering just
removing
it. Google describes methods for setting the default but
they don't
seem applicable to XFCE and F-17/64.
If you start the file manager, "Thunar", and then right click on
the X.mov file pick "Open with" and then "Open with other
Application" you should be able to choose vlc and that choice
should stick for all .mov files.
Perhaps it should "stick" but it does not. I can view it that
way
but I am still offered only Parole with no "Other" option when
I
attempt to view the video in Thunderbird mail. Do you know of a
file
that can be changed manually?
Thanks,

I have somewhat of a similar problem to this, I have Thunderbird
installed on Fedora 17, and in the "Details" tab ofthe "System
Details" where it lists the default applications for various types
of files, I have:
Web: Firefox
Mail: Thunderbird
Calendar: Software Install???!!!
Music: Clementine
Video: Movie Player
Photos: Image Viewer
How do I change the (obviously!) incorrect assignment of Software
Install for viewing / opening Calendar? Bear in mind I already have
"Lightning" installed as a Thunderbird Add-on.....so I can already
view and manipulate my calendar through TB's interface....but HOW
and WHY did Software Install assign itself to that task?...and how
do I undo this? It's not hampering my usage of the PC in any way,
it's just annoying....
Thanks!
