I recently downloaded the latest version of Thunderbird and noticed straight away that the excellent spell checker which used to ensure all my emails were correctly spelled now does not seem to operate.  I cannot find any means by which I can get this to work.  Any ideas?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Write email using deliberately mis-spelt words
2. Doesn't pick anything up
3.
Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
mis-spelled words to be picked up
Please check the settings in Tools->Options->Composition->Spelling ; especially if you have a dictionary selected.
