I've not messed much with Moz. in awhile, because it lacked some things I needed/wanted and so stayed with KMail. I am impressed with this new release, however, it STILL doesn't have a spell checker! Now, that's IGNORANT!
I've never been able to understand why spelling is the only thing considered important in emails. For example, the above message is - as far as I can see - correctly spelled, but the grammar is completely wrong. A noun isn't modified by a verb, so a spell checker would check spells not spelling. 'awhile' is a correctly spelled word but it's an adverb. So a spelling checker wouldn't help with the above message. I'm not trying to flame here, I'm just curious as to why people don't scream for grammar checkers. I make frequent grammar mistakes in hastily edited emails, so I would find such a function very useful. A frequent error I make is to write a sentence with a subject in plural, change my mind and make it singular, and then forget to make some consistency alteration. I would find a function for correcting such mistakes at least as valuable as a spelling checker. Are there any programs capable of doing that?
