Build Date & Platform Bug Found:
 Win32 commercial seamonkey build 1999-11-01-09-m11 installed on P166 Win98

 MacOS commercial seamonkey build 1999-11-01-08-m11 installed on G3/400 OS 8.5.1

Overview Description:
Can't you offer a Canadian option for a spelling dictionary?  Canadian English is
different from American or UK English.
 Reported by "Mark Sandilands" <sandilands@uleth.ca>

I looked in the Main Mail Spec, Compose Spec, and Ender spec, but could not find
this issue addressed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Launch the Editor or a new mail compose window
2) Type some text
3) Click on the spell check button off the tool bar
   The spell check dialog appears
   Notice there is no option to switch from US/UK/Canadian.

Actual Results:
 There is no place to switch the language to Canadian.

Expected Results:
 Use expects to be able to spell check with the canadian spelling.

Is this bug still valid? It seems to be about the spelling checker in the
commercial (Netscape) builds. Shouldn't it be migrated to Bugscape?
