Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 3459

Hi guys -
I understand that this is rather an RFE than a bug report, but:
I've already have had a trouble sending a "thank you" letter after an interview:
my subject line had 1 letter missing...

I hate to tell you that, but "Microsoft Outlook" checks the subject line (not
that  it will seduce me to use it ;)  )


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start composing an e-mail
2. observe that "spell" button is dimmed, unless your keyboard focus is in
"body" area.
3.  misspell a word in your subject line
4. create a body.
5. click "spell"


Actual Results:  
6. observe that subject line is not included in the spell check.

Expected Results:  
It should have checked the subject line as well, IMO.
