Rory McCann thank you for reporting this bug and making Ubuntu better. In Maverick, if one opens a new OOo Writer file, typed b...@launchpad.net then hit enter on the keyboard, the e-mail address becomes a hyperlink and is ignored by the spell checker. However, having the option for the spell checker to ignore non-hyperlinked e-mail addresses is a good one. The next step is to link an upstream bug to this one found searching http://www.openoffice.org/issues/query.cgi or if not found create an enhancement request via http://www.openoffice.org/issues/enter_bug.cgi?component=Word%20processor
