When I click on Help and select "Mail and News", it discusses using the "Spell" button in the Mail Toolbar or using the "Check Spelling" under the "Options" button. But when I look at the Mail Toolbar or the options under "Options", there are no Spell Check functions available. Either the Help is wrong or Spell Check is not properly installed. I have tried installing Mozilla 1.4 release code 1 both as "complete" and "custom" to see if there is a Spell Check insalation option, but I can't find one. If Spell Check is not available on 1.4 release code 1, what is the latest Mozilla to support Spell Check? I read Release Notes and there was nothing indicating "Spell Check" was not available. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start "Mail & Newsgroups". 2. Select Compose. 3. Try to Spell Check and find there is no "Spell" buton nor "Check Spelling" under "Options". Actual Results: Nothing, I couldn't find any way to spell check. Expected Results: There should be a "Spell" button on the Mail Toolbar or a "Check Spelling" option for the "Option" button.
-> Help The help is werong because there is no integrated spellchecker in mozilla. (but you can download it as addon)
