What version of Tbird are you using?  This has been driving me batty
for months.  I don't have the Spelling > Language option on
Composition or anywhere else.

I have actually downloaded the installer for the localised "UK
English" version of Thunderbird, but as the one I currently use is
embedded in Xandros, I can't figure out where to install the updated
one to overwrite it.

Any suggestions please? :)

Kind regards,

Julian


Version 1.5.0.1 wouldn't let me into the Compo page. It just showed
a cryptic error dialog. I had a gut feeling it was a spell-checker
problem so I switched off the spell-checking option in prefs>compo.
The error persisted but so did my gut feeling.

I installed the en_GB dictionary. No more error messages and I was
able to get into the Compo page.

I'm guessing last night's upgrade to version 1.5.0.2 was in part to
fix this problem. When I've got time I might look at the bug reports.
