That's weird. I use Gvim to edit web mail via the Mozex extension. I
can place "this is a tset" at line one in my message after executing the
`set filetype=mail` command, and it will be spell-checked. I don't have
to include any headers or empty lines or anything else like that.
Hm. Apparently you're right. By doing the following:
:new
:setl ft=mail
:setl spell
a
this is a tset
with a space at the end of the line, I get a blue curly underline under "this"
and a red one under "tset".
Do you have spell checking on? Normally yes, but still... what is the reply to
:verbose setlocal spell?
when you do it (with the question mark) in a window where the 'filetype' is
set to "mail" but you don't see spell-check highlights? Unless you yourself
set 'spell' on, e.g. by having "set spell" in your vimrc, Vim will by default
do no spell-checking at all.
