Anyone else seeing this? This is a fresh profile and a fresh install of SeaMonkey. Check your prefs again. Monospace can be set to different fonts for different encodings, so for example you can have Monospace = Arial for Unicode but Monospace = Courier New for Western. The point is that if incoming messages have different encodings, SeaMonkey will obey your different instructions for each. Paul, appreciate your reply. However, it's not helpful. You tell me to check my settings. I detailed them in my OP. And you had nothing specific to say about that which might help. Actually, it is helpful if you fully understand it. Let's try again. In the dialog at Edit | Preferences | Appearance | Fonts, you'll see something like this: Fonts for: [Western] ... Monospace: [Courier New] Now, if you pull down the list from [Western], you'll see lots of other encodings. Let's choose [Unicode] for example: Fonts for: [Unicode] ... Monospace: [Arial Unicode MS] Clearly, a Unicode-encoded message will display in a different font from a Western-encoded message, just as you instructed. Okay! In my SM the font is Consolas, similar in appearance to Arial. Now let me see if that fixes it ... Yep, that did it. I did not set that to Consolas. In all the years of using Netscape/Mozilla/SeaMonkey I've never seen that happen, hence my OP.

This is bug 3459. Developers have identified a solution, so a future release of Thunderbird will probably have this feature. The bug 3459 - Spell Check should also check the subject line. was open on January, 1998. And, by comment 58, Bug 368915 looks like it's about this. The Bug 368915 - Spell check command disabled in subject line (button, main menu Check Spelling, keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+P) was open on January, 2007 So, It will be corrected in 99 years. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
