Re: [Chrysler300] Lake Tahoe controversy

["Roger Schaaf" <obiwan10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just found the problem.  There is a box in "options" for spelling.  I had 
the box checked to ignore misspelled words in original text or forwarded 
text.  I had assumed that this would protect me from having spellcheck 
merely check my text, and ignore the misspelling in any text that I was 
replying to.  Not the case.  It also ignores misspelled words in the text 
that I enter in replying to or forwarding an email.  A distinction with a 
difference.
