Arthur, All I can say is this... It amazes my that a sysprog with a gripe this size, have not put this fingers to the keyboard and wrote a utility to automatically invoke a spellchecker inside your email program to fix it before you have to look at it, I am sure if you google it, you might find the exit point and the module name in 'fire fox' that you need to modify to accomplish this? As said before... the spellchecker gives different results in US / Ireland / South Africa for the same thing, just because the US, Ireland, and South Africa have a derived versions of the original pure English Language.
