I use the reply button quite a lot, and not beeing a native english speaker I
have to use the spellchecker for my mail to be half-understandable. However, if
I quote the message I reply to, and then run the spellchecker it goes through
the quoted parts of the message as if I wrote it. There should at least be an
option, maybe it should even be made default, to make the spellchecker ignore
quoted parts of an email.

Do you use enigmail ?

Clarification: this should have been fixed in bug 201866 (html compose) and bug
201866 (plain text), both in Mozilla 1.5, but it doesn't work together with the
Enigmail extension.
