Spell-Checking the Subject in Mozilla Thunderbird or Netscape

I have to disappoint you: even after you have read this tip, Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape and Mozilla will not check the Subject: of your email messages when you click the Spell button.

But there's a small and obvious workaround that I hope you haven't thought of yet (I'm full of unrealistic beliefs).

To check the spelling of your subject line in Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape or Mozilla:

• Copy the Subject to the body.
• Click Spell.
  • Alternatively, select Options | Check Spelling... from the menu.
• When the spell checker has finished, cut the subject line text from the body and insert it back to the Subject: field again.
