214505 - Spell Check should not check "quoted" text header in forwards and replies

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 201866

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Dave Evans]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.1 Milestone

The spell checker rightly ignores all of the quoted message bodies however it
does not ignore the Thunderbird generated  "Blabbly Bunn wrote: " that it
prefixes to the quoted text

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make sure you have Prefs set to spell check each mail on its way out
2.Take any email where the person's name is unusual, say "Bunn"
3.hit reply to the email
4.hit send

Actual Results:  
the spell check is triggered on the word "Bunn", 

this happens regardless of whether it actually caught any other "real" spelling
in your message.  

Expected Results:  
It should ignore spelling mistakes in the fields that it created for itself, as
it ignores the quoted email that it is attached to.
