Whilst spell=checking I added a new word but I somehow double-clicked my mouse, thus adding a wrong word to teh dictionary. TehWord is "teh" whihc is a mis-typing of "the" tht I do all teh time, so I really need teh spell-checker to pick it up. I cannot see how to remove a word from teh Thunderbird dictionary. Can anyone help, please? Doug Ross

Dear Matt, thank you so much. You'll have seen from my original question that my typing is far from perfect, so I rely heavily on the spelling checker. I don't know why I'd never even noticed the edit button on the spelling window, so I'm greatly relieved to ahve got rid of "teh" from the dictionary, and very grateful to you. Doug (I had to correct teh to the 4 times in this message!)
