And thunderbird is still finding misspelled words
What a onion to unravel this is!
Did you restart T-Bird after the move? Is it possible T-bird loads the dictionary into memory on startup?
I stopped Thunerbird first. Renamed mysell, then restarted Thunderbird.
Well, I did the following.
cd /usr/share/myspell cp en_US.dic en_DE.dic cp en_US.aff en_DE.aff
This creates an English Dictionary for "Germany". A dictionary that doesn't exist and won't get overwritten by updates.
I then deleted the line "yo" from the newly created dictionary.
Then I went to the T-Bird Preferences, Composition, Spelling tab (after restarting T-Bird) and selected English (Germany) from the drop down menu.
After doing that "yo" had a red line under it as I had "Enable spellcheck as you type".
Bingo! Thank you!
And "en_DE" IS NOT in my prefs.js! AAAAA HHHHH !!!!!!!
