Bug#249370: gnome-control-center: cannot set mail application

[Sean Proctor]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.6.1-1
Severity: normal

Preferred Applications Mail Reader starts off with no option selected.
If I select one of the options, and close the window, when I open it
again, still no option is selected. There's no option to set it in gconf
either.
