<p>Quick post to add some Google juice to a problem. If you upgrade to Thunderbird 24 and it no longer underlines your misspelt text in red, go to Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Config Editor and <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=880595#c27">set mail.compose.max_recycled_windows to 0</a>.</p>
