Bug Description
From the Mozilla webpage:
http://
I have downloaded their plugin XPI spellchecker:
http://
But even after installing this in Thunderbird, I can't choose the new dictionary in the preferences. Once I have installed a myspell package as instructed below, I am able to use the XPI dictionary also, but there is no reason I should not use the Mozilla-provided XPI dictionary without installing myspell.
Kindly enable the dictionary combobox immediately even when only an XPI dictionary has been installed.
This bug is still present in Thunderbird 2.0.0.6+

Hello ubu-for,
Thank you for the bug report, I can confirm this report I have tested it with 1.5.0.10 in Feisty and cannot install any further dictionaries in any method I try. To me this consists of a fairly substantial loss of feature for a large portion of the users, thus marking it as a high priority.
I am going to leave it to Alexander to decide it further.
Thanks, Alex.
