[dba-Tech] Thunderbird Question - Spell Check

Rocky,
I haven't found any spell check add-ins. The spellchecker itself is open
source but unfortunately I can't find any relevant information on it either.

Might I suggest increasing the typomatic response rate on your keyboard ;o)

I should talk - half the words in my emails come out garbled!

John:

One thing I noticed with Thunderbird is that it's a bit weaker in the spell
check.  I do double caps a lot - THe - which OE would correct to The.  Is
there any spell check extensions that you know of?

Best,
