You don't have to do that.  Just go to [in the Control Center]:

	KDE Components -> Component Chooser

Then choose: "Email Client"

Set the Radio Button to "Use a different email client" and enter:

	thunderbird %u

in the box.  At least it works fine for me.

The hard part is getting Konquer to open URLs from Thunderbird.

Create a file: "$HOME/.thunderbird/<code>.default/user.js" like the 
attached and URLs will open in Konqueror.  Where "<code>" is the random 
unique directory name created on your system.
