Thanks for a swell product

Although I'm not exactly sure what's being asked for here, I /think/ the point is that we should not spell check quoted material. So I'm going to morph the bug summary to reflect that. In separate email conversation with the Editor folks, they say that the API necessary to do this will be provided with the fix for bug 10470, so I'm adding that as a dependency. Reassigning to ducarroz

Changing qa assigned to pmock@netscape.com

Can we make this a preference ? It might be amusing to be able to leave it on.

moving to future.

I don't think this needs to be a pref. We should not check the spelling of quoted material. That's the way C4.x does it, and that works out well. Those of us who reply to many emails will find it a burden to check the spelling of other people's text.

If you can manually spell check selected text (IIRC as Communicator allows) then you can include quoted text in the check by doing a select all first.

This bug was Opened: 1999-11-02 03:00. And we're still screwing around trying to figure out what to do 18 months later? Hello? Decide! Spell check Quoted text or don't. (Personally, "don't" is the right answer.) Fix the defect or rule it isn't a defect. Make a decision and move on.
