I must be sad, replying to my own emails ;)  Anyway, to remove any 
unused dictionaries there is no function, it's done manually.

Close Thunderbird.

Go to the Thunderbird install folder, then components -> myspell:  
Delete the .dic, .aff and README- files for the unwanted dictionaries.  
Then restart Thunderbird.

Kind regards,

Julian

PS I still haven't checked this on the Linux version yet - one thing at 
a time :)
PPS They must be very sad developers.  The spell-check asked me to 
correct Thunderbird to Thunderbirds.... Gerry Anderson fan somewhere ;)
