And thunderbird is still finding misspelled words

What a onion to unravel this is!


Did you restart T-Bird after the move?  Is it possible T-bird loads the dictionary into memory on
startup?




I stopped Thunerbird first.  Renamed mysell, then
restarted Thunderbird.

Well, I did the following.

cd /usr/share/myspell
cp en_US.dic en_DE.dic
cp en_US.aff en_DE.aff

This creates an English Dictionary for "Germany".  A dictionary that doesn't exist and won't get overwritten
by updates.

I then deleted the line "yo" from the newly created dictionary.

Then I went to the T-Bird Preferences, Composition, Spelling tab (after restarting T-Bird) and selected
English (Germany) from the drop down menu.

After doing that "yo" had a red line under it as I had "Enable spellcheck as you type".




Bingo! Thank you!
