When I write or reply to an e-mail, the default spell check is always English. I always have to change it to the language I use for the used contact. Can the preferred language be saved for a recipient so that when I compose a message or reply to one, and the recipient exists in my contacts, it will automatically take the preferred language for this recipient?

Thanks in advance Freefox
