Comments on: Thunderbird In-Line Spell Check http://www.twistermc.com/blog/2005/07/14/thunderbird-in-line-spell-check Like a Themepark of random information.

It was pretty buggy though, esp. with non-english languages. Whenever I had accents on my letters it would freeze up and other problems like randomly jumping cursor positions on occasion. It has very nice but badly published short-cuts though: on empty line, type ]]] to turn it on/off (e.g. before starting to type accents); type ]]0. ]]1, ]]2 to switch to different languages. There are more, but I forgot. Thb 1.5 has it built-in though and my first experiences (today) seem to indicate that it's much smoother. Switching languages might be less elegant, but who is poly-lingual out there anyway... I have been using that Inline-Checker for a while, mostly because it was the only thing around.

Can't wait. And I better not have to delete anything to install the new version. I have a few random issues with the extension I posted about, but TB 1.1 should do it much better. Can’t wait.
