Interestingly, as can be seen in this screenshot: 
http://tonybaldwin.me/images/091616190007.jpg
Icedove is set to "always check to see if [it] is the default on startup"
and yet, it hasn't checked, asked or pestered me about its status as 
default or not even once, although it appears to be set as default for 
mail (or that option is greyed out.. I can't figure out which, although, 
perhaps greyed out makes sense since update alternatives says there are 
no options for mail, but insists on keeping it as "bsd-mailx).
