Spell checking - why can't I avoid it?

Can someone explain why the emails I write are still spell-checked, even though I have unchecked "Check spelling before sending message" and "Check spelling continuously" in "Settings" countless times? Even the Thunderbird add-on "Replywithheader" still checks spelling, even though I have unchecked "spell-check" there too. I don't want spell-checking, but I can't get away from it! It really bothers me.

Restart Thunderbird. Does it still have the desired settings?

I have restarted Thunderbird several times. Still the same. My emails are still spell-checked, although the settings are set so that they should be unchecked.

Thanks a lot. But I have tried this, too. It didn't solve the problem.

I just found where the problem was! I uninstalled the add-on "Replywithheader" and Thunderbird stopped spell-checking. When I re-installed the add-on, both the header and the e-mail started the spell-checking again, although the settings are set to uncheck.
