Debian Thunderbird Spellcheck

[kedman]

HI
I have searched the forums for a way to setup spellcheck in Debian.
I have just moved over to Debian and cant get a spellchecker in T bird.
When I try to download or load up the UK files I still don't get a spellchecker.

Cheers
Bob

If you go to www.extensionsmirror.nl and look at the Thunderbird extensions forum there is an extension that gives you an inline spellchecker whilst you are typing your messages.

I believe there is also one for adding the UK dictionary (but I may be confused on this one).

Good luck,

Mudra

Hi
Thanks for that.
I Loaded it up but when it started it, it complained of a missing or corrupted file and
closed down.

Cheers

Try installing the gnome-spell package.
