Details

It would be really nifty if the automatic spell checking that exists in most
word processors and many email clients could find its way into the plain text
entry fields in forms.  Specifically, it should put in the little red squiggle
line that appears under those misspelled words, with right click access to
suggested spelling.

Since there are so many web forums (fora?) and other email-like applications
(like Bugzilla) that rely on the simple TEXTAREA elements for editing, it'd be
nice to have at least some of the same ammenities in Mozilla.
I think this is a duplicate of an existing RFE bug...
reassign to Kin since he owns spellchecker issues.
Assignee: rods → kin
Bug#: 58612 (RFE) Asks for realtime spellchecking in the editor.
Bug#: 16409 (RFE) Spellchecking (non-realtime) in html forms.

At the moment theres is *absolutely no* spellchecking in Mozilla, only a "check
spelling before sending" check box which will cause some initial emails sent
with horrible seplling.
