Mark, etc,
Now that I've had time to try, I've downloaded v2.68 and
(?)successfully installed it into my wife's laptop. It shows up in
the Add-On Mgr screen as a loaded Dictionary, but is not available to
select anywhere. Whether composing a new email or as the default
language under Properties - Appearance - Spelling, the only entry in
her SM v2.53.5 install is for the default English-US. And of course,
the link for 'add more dictionaries' takes me to the Thunderbird
add-ons download page, for what that's worth.
I really don't want to abandon SM, but if my English wife can't
compose emails in her own language in the mail client, what's the
point? I've been a loyal Netscape/Mozilla/SM user for some time, but
I'm not a developer. My skill set is in system administration, not
programming.
My thanks to all who replied with additional suggestions, but it has
been sorted, finally. Not only did the v2.68 install didn't work even
after SM and then the laptop restarts, but attempting to use the
'download more dictionaries' link didn't do anything--no web page, no
nothing. With no other changes, I installed v2.53.5.1 on top of the
current setup, and the v2.68 English-UK dictionary is now listed as
such, and is now set as the default. Composition tests with spell check
work as you'd expect, that way.
I have no idea what was corrupted, but the latest install did something
and all is now well.
I suspect when the new version scanned for existing add-ons it perhaps
had the same effect as removing and re-adding the dictionary add-on (now
at version 2.68). Anyway, the main thing is it's working now :) Thanks
for getting back - it's always good to know that problems are resolved,
and the eventual solution can sometimes help others too.
