Is this a dupe of bug 222747?

If not, could you provide a sample message that exhibits the problem?  From the compose window, Save As | File; then attach the resulting HTML file to this bug using the Create New Attachment link above.

Attachment: save problem email

This is a composed message that does not make it through the spell checker

Yes, this is a dupe.  All those errors are from within the <style> tag.

The workaround in your case is to remove that MS Word cruft from the signature file.
