It is a shame that there is this type of thinking going on. What's
next, the composer? the address book? I don't want to use IBMozilla or
Netscape, but yet I expect that when someone composes a letter or a web
page, there is certain expectation that a spell checker is available.
There is alot that is in Mozilla that Netscape has changed or dumped in
it's released version. If Netscape chooses to use their own spell
checker than let them. That is why I choose not to use Netscape,
because of the extra junk they throw into the product.
Is a spell checker extra junk? Don't think so. I basic feature in all
mail clients is a spell checker. I am sure that with all the great
features and brillant coding that has gone into a product like Mozilla,
that it deserves to be a complete client, that included a spell checker.
