It's my 4th mozilla version I use now, and I never could see a spell checker.
Since I see some bugs about it, I believe it exists somewhere. I looked under
all menus and submenus, and there is no spell checker to find, the same with the
browser composer. Do I have to activate it or to install it appart. I hope it's
the right place to put this question, I thought it could be a bug on some OS.
Thanks for some feedback

Attachment: This is a picture of the composer, should be a spell check button there?

The spell checker is a Netscape add-on.  It is available in Mozilla-based
Netscape builds.  Mozilla itself does not have a spellchecker -- bug 56301.

Verified dup of bug 56301 - Editor needs spell checking.

Thanks for helping with Mozilla.
