When I type up a message containing the word "rebuttle" and run spell check on
it, it flags a mistake (i.e. bad spelling) but offers no suggestions on better
spellings (in this case, "rebuttal").

I also noticed that the word "focussed" (which is correct spelling [1]) is being
flagged as bad spelling by the spell checker when it should not be.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open compose window
2. Type up the words "rebuttle" and/or "focussed"
3. Click on "Spell"

Actual Results:  
Please see URL referenced for a screenshot. In case 1, no suggestion was offered
by the spell checker, and in case 2, it identifies a correctly spelt word as
incorrectly spelt.

Expected Results:  
In case 1, it should suggest "rebuttal", and in case 2, it should not flag
"focussed" as a mistake.

This is fixed in version 0.6+ (20050116) by the spellchecker upgrade. 

rebuttle suggests: rebuttals(among others)
focussed suggests: focused
