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.
