Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0.6 (20050716)

Spell check ignores letter 'i' as in "i am happy to.." so I have to carefully
ensure that I spell 'I' correctly.
I cannot see any identical reports (I did look) and I am unaware that this
problem  has ever been addressed from my original version 0.9.
As this is so obvious, I have scoured the preferences to see if there is a tick
box but I cannot even add 'I' to the lexicon as 'i' is ignored anyway.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.type a mail with spelling errors to include a few i's
2.SEND mail to initiate a spell check.
3.Note that wrong words are checked but 'i' is ignored.

Actual Results:  
I type  i am happy i have been able to help...
I want  I am happy I have been able to help...

Expected Results:  
I would have expected the instances of 'i' to have been offered as a correction,
'I'.

Other than the above, what a superb program. A credit to your writers and a well
deserved raspberry to microslop.

All i need now is for Thunderbird to allow AVG FREE to add "Virus checked" text
and I am in heaven.

I have PAID for some applicaion software with more bugs than a year dead rat.
Excellent work.
I couldn't find a dupe of this, and it is an issue. Confirming.

Related to Core bug 128122?
I also noted that the spell check ignore the first character of a new line or
after a line feed, so...

"the cat sat" is NOT corrected to...
"The cat sat"

additionally, "... to an end. we feel that..."
is NOT corrected to "... end. We feel that..."
