Appleworks does spell checking before you send, but I like it as I go along, and the spellcheck at Appleworks does one more bothersome thing, it won't let you correct anything on your own, if you see a mistake while it is in the checking mode. This is especially annoying when it is a mistake that spellchecking does not catch anyway, because it is wrong only in context , or in a plural etc. And Apple's "Mail" checks spelling either way, while or after you write.
