How to change the email client used by LibreOffice?

LibreOffice allows you to use a local email client to send the current document via email or complete a mail merge. You can specify which email client LibreOffice uses by specifying the path of any MAPI compliant email client in Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice Writer ▸ Mail Merge Email (found in any LibreOffice application).

For the email client to work with LibreOffice, you must have Java installed and it must be recognized by LibreOffice.
