Or at least it does on my (Windows) system. Note that the problem occurs even if one chooses 'paste without formatting'. Select and copy the word into Thunderbird. In fact, I've just now tested it, and this is indeed the case. So perhaps the problem owes to text pasted from Word. I have a Microsoft Word style of that name. Words ('words') that this has happened with (working from, in fact, my persdict.dat I must have added these terms to stop them being flagged): MsoListContinue MsoFootnoteReference charset quotewithtag. The spell-checker finds (or rather, in scare-quotes, 'finds') words - misspelled words - in the e-mail *that I did not type and which do not show up but seem instead to be be hidden font information*, as in the example I gave above. I enter some text in it let's say that the whole of that text comprises the words, 'See you later.' Next, I check the spelling of the e-mail. Thank you for your patience.Īs to the problem that I marked '1', which concerns (as I put it)'non-printing characters - describing fonts, I think - appear as misspelled words': here is what happens.

Alternatively you can install the "Stationary" add-on ( ) which allows a HTML view of the message. Save the message as a draft at that point and inspect the HTML. The personal dictionary is stored in a file "persdict.dat" in your profile folder, on Windows:Ĭ:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\\persdict.dat When it happens, immediately check the personal dictionary for the newly added word: Since the spell checking generally works, I assume that the text contains HTML formatting which isn't correctly removed before adding the word to the personal dictionary. Can that not be repeated? What would such a word be? Can you not take note of the word next time it happens? You said: You add the word to the dictionary and the red spell check mark is not removed. However, it might be easier to reproduce in Thunderbird. Note that Thunderbird's spell checking functionality is supplied by Mozilla's Gecko engine.
