We've got a built-in spellchecker, thank you!

It would be REALLY GREAT to eliminate lots of SPAM via spell-check, force them to do something else if they want to stay in my in-box.

Examples (just arrived, stayed in my inbox):

title, "Software At Low Pr1ce"

message body, solving "rectoin problems SOFT CIA0LIS" (and similar).


This would be extremely effective for killing SPAM.
OK to wait until TB Version 3, of course.

Reproducible: Always
I like the idea. If the user has several dictionaries installed, it should check with all of them (since you can get mail in a few languages).
