When typing messages with incorrect word, Thunderbird advises the error, but does not offer alternatives. This worked on my old PC, but not on newly installed version on new PC.

Thanks.

Robin Webb.

Tried to download, but Thunderbird wouldn't allow it. Thanks for trying.

You did not say WHY. You might try downloading to PC and then installing locally.
