If there is a word in the Subject Line of the email which is flagged as a spelling error (red line underneath) and that word also appears (and is flagged) in the body of the email, adding the word to the dictionary only unflags the word in the location where you added the word to the dictionary, but not in the other location.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a new Compose window
2. type "zzv " in the Subject Line (without the quotes, but with a space). Note that the word is now flagged as a spelling error.
3. type "zzv " in the Body of the email (without the quotes, but with a space). Note that the word is now flagged as a spelling error.
4. in the Subject Line, right click on the misspelled word and select "Add to dictionary"
Actual Results:
The misspelled word is no longer flagged in the Subject Line but is still flagged in the body of the email.

Expected Results:
If a word has been added to the dictionary, both the Subject Line and the Body of the email should be scanned to unflag the word.

The error occurs whether you add the word to the dictionary from the subject line or the body of the email. System remains stable.

Note that if you go to add the word to the dictionary a second time the word is accepted. I don't know if this means that there are now two copies of the word in the dictionary, or simply that no error was reported. This is why I am reporting this bug as "Normal" instead of "Minor".
