If I write a German business mail, I don't want English mixed in. Which I sometimes do even after "proof" reading, and if both languages are enabled the spell checker doesn't catch it. Even if the receiving entity speaks English it can be a bit of a problem. So for business email, none tech, I absolutely prefer _1_ language for the spell checker. Which should be easy to select from the edit menu, therefore no 1.2.2 for me, except after I port the 1.2.1 behavior forward. Just my 2c, Ronald
