Spell Checking e-mail and stuffz


I am extremely privelidged to own a keyboard without the winodws key. Unfortunatly, I believe that it's previous owner was Moses. It's very grusome to keep from making typing mistakes. Anyway, I create web pages and write e-mail with Mozilla. How would I get the speel checker working.

(PS - please, no messages about how much better Galeon is, I've tried it, don't like it, not as fast as Mozilla)

Excuse me? I don't believe I've given any of my keyboards to anyone
named Bigun. . . And who told you my keyboards were gruesome?

Anyway, I don't think Mozilla has a spell checker. . .
In fact, under the help menu, you will find information on spell checking
with Mozilla. . .

I meant the biblical Moses. :P

And gruesome as in, you have to SLAM the keys to get them to key right.

And I looked under Mozilla help before and it said it was IN Mozilla but I couldn't find it. Red Hat updated Mozilla for me and now it says I have to download and install it. I went to the page and there were a bunch of *.xpi files that would install the spell checker for me. Not 1 of them worked. I think the best thing for now is to either get a better e-mail and web page composer or get Mozilla a decent spell checker.

Well, I prefer pine for my mail, and I use vi to write my web pages. . .

vi doesn't have spell check. Using it (like notepad in Windows) is completely pointless when you have utilities that can do twice as much in half the time. I need something with spell check....or can someone help me with Mozilla. Anyone?
