Hi, First of all I really like Firefox and Thunderbird. OK... so my description is this: I tried to add the word "et al." to the English dictionary and it would only add the "et". I do know how to add "et al." to the dictionary as a word. Thanks,

No problem here, in Thunderbird.

Did you add it via the Edit button in the spell check dialogue?

Hey Zenos, Thanks for the quick reply. With the edit button (that I did not see as it was right in front of my face ;) ), I was able to add "et al." and correct other misspelled items in the personal dictionary. Thanks again.
