Hmmm ... I just played around with a few things and I do think we've
discovered a bug. Oops, errrr, I mean an undocumented negative feature.
First off, under 'spell checker' from the edit window, I have 'automatic
checking' enabled. Under options, I have 'auto correct' enabled.
I just wrote typed the word "wrong" incorrectly three times:
wrng wrng wrng
At first they were flagged as incorrect. I right-clicked on one of them
and selected 'ignore all' and the red line did not disappear. Then I
opened up the actual spell checker window by right-clicking one of the
incorrect words and selecting 'suggest more'. I then selected 'ignore all'
and the red line disappeared. I deleted them, and retyped them again, and
they are not flagged now. I opened up a new message window and typed
in 'wrng' and it was not flagged. Then I closed Bat completely and
reopened it. I typed 'wrng' again, and now it is flagged. BUT the three
'wrng' above, and not flagged.
Methinks the right-click version of 'ignore all' isn't connected to
anything. IOW, it doesn't work. And I hope the guys at RIT are reading
this.
I know this doesn't solve your problem, but it certainly confirms that
something is wrng. Oops ... I mean wrong.

Judging from realistic simulations involving a sledge hammer and a

assume it will be pretty bad.
