Or simply use an email agent with a built in spell checker, and lets you
scroll up or down to add your reply comment to anyplace in the message, but
defaults to the bottom of the message. I can think of at least one email
agent that does this, the one I use here (kmail), but I've not tried all the
others so the experience is limited. All of that is I believe present and
useful in your Thunderbird-2.0.0.19 too.
Generally, most linux users tend to see OE as one of the more drain bamaged
email agents extant.
