However, # dir -l /usr/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.9/components/myspell/en-GB.dic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 668187 2003-02-13 15:01 /usr/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.9/components/myspell/en-GB.dic # dir -l /usr/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.9/components/myspell/en-GB.aff -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5687 2003-02-13 15:01 /usr/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.9/components/myspell/en-GB.aff # According to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/dictionaries.html «Alternatively, OpenOffice.org also uses dictionary files compatible with Thunderbird.
