There is also no Thunderbird in the dictionary. I thought it's free of names (which i consider a good thing), but it knows Microsoft Outlook Netscape Miranda Minefield ;-) strange. Is the dictionary the one from OpenOffice?

The dictionary is from OpenOffice
http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/spell_dic.html

It is not unusual for product names not to be included in dictionaries and last I checked OpenOffice wasn't in it either.
