The spell checker icon (if the spellchecker is installed) is not active.  ctrl-
k does not activate the spell checker.

When you forward a message, focus is on the To field, so the spellchecker button
is not active until you click on the body.

Replying to a message enabled the spellchecker button properly, because focus is
in the body of a message.

This bug appears to have been fixed sometime between 1.4a and 1.4.
