I solved in a different way.

I created a .reg file (thunderbird.reg, for example), containing the
following lines:
===================================================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto]
@="URL:MailTo Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\DefaultIcon]
@="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe,0"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command]
@="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -compose %1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\news]
@="URL:News Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\news\DefaultIcon]
@="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe,0"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\news\shell\open\command]
@="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -mail %1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\nntp]
@="URL:NNTP Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\nntp\DefaultIcon]
@="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe,0"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\nntp\shell\open\command]
@="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -mail %1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\snews]
@="URL:Snews Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\snews\DefaultIcon]
@="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe,0"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\snews\shell\open\command]
@="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -mail %1"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\Mail]
@="Mozilla Thunderbird"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail]
@="Mozilla Thunderbird"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\News]
@="Mozilla Thunderbird"
================================================
i then added an install line for the package:

<install cmd='regedit /s "\\servername\wpkg\software\Mozilla
Thunderbird\thunderbird.reg"' />

that was enough for me.
