problems with spell checker

[Gadi Sprukt]

Hello,

I am having problems with Thunderbird's spell checking tool. The spell
checker does not detect any spelling mistakes - not during typing, or when
requesting a spell check

I have tried to install the English dictionaries both UK English, and US -
and they apear as installed in the add ons list - but the
dictionary/language simply does not appear in the options > composition >
spelling tab.

I dont have any problems using a spell on Firefox

very strange! does anyone have an idea whats wrong?

Hi Gadi,

You may wish to try a patched version of the UK dictionary which I
provide from the following page.

www.JustLocal.com.au/clients/mozillaau

In the past people have had problems with the UK dictionary and this has
helped.

What version are you using? When you check the Add-ons Manager, is it
the Firefox Add-ons Manager, or the Thunderbird Add-ons Manager?

Please quote some of the preceeding messages to give some framework to
the problem. According to your post NOTHING is relevent to whatever
problem you are having becuase you snipped it out!

Ergo it isnt a problem, because its simply not relevent.

Hi Mat,

The following is the response I posted for Gadi. Gadi used this approach
and it worked.

Hopefully someone has reported this bug to Mozilla.

I wish you would leave SOME form of context by quoting SOME of the
previoius messages as is your post makes no sense at all.

You are suppossed to quote relevent material, so, there is NOTHING
relevent to your post then, why did you make it?

Hey Mat Moz and a few other "is" the internet! They've been around since
the Univac and the memory core That looked like to Compressors on old
time Refrigerators, and filled a large Room with just enough room for
chairs to sit in front of). ;-)

As for you answer I didn't see the previous post as well (most likely
marked read without reading it).

Don't feel bad though. its typical to get blasted for either not quoting
enough or too much. I get it all the time. And I am an old geezer as
well (58).

The Posting Etiquette for these groups, which is linked in my sig, calls
for trimming of posts, but quoting enough material to give your reply
context. Quoting nothing does not promote a discussion, it stalls it.

It would not surprise me to discover that Dan has been on the internet
longer than you have owned a computer. ;)

Hey! Read the guidelines for the group why dontcha?

http://www.mozilla.org/community/etiquette.html

I read over 30 newsgroups, and I simply dont have the time to go back
for each and every message (1500 per day) to re-read the previous
message or messages just to get an idea of what some person who is too
heavy on the edit button is saying?

You can spend YOUR time going back and re-reading messages, I have much
better things to do with my time!

I believe I have found the answer. For some reason when the dictionary
is installed from Thunderbird, it is installed in Firefox instead.
I have found the following to work for me.
Open Thunderbird
click on tools, add ons, get extensions.
When the web page opens, click on "Dictionaries" (on left side of
page, not under Browse Extensions by Catagory)
Find en-us and right click on install.
click save link as and save to a folder of your choice.

Return to Thunderbird and click tools, add ons, install.
Find the file you just saved <united_states_english_dictionary-2.0.0.6-
fx+zm+tb.xpi> and click on it.
Click open, install now.
When install has finished click restart thunderbird.

I hope this works for all of you.
