Noticed an oddity when composing an email recently for thunderbird installed with en_GB.  The status bar at the bottom of the compose window insicated that American English was in effect.

Not sure.  Shall keep my eye on it.

1.  Compose a message in thunderbird en_GB and see what it says.

Just occurred to me that this may not be an override but a simple mistake in the gui.

Thunderbird Spellchecker...

@Len 
Verifying is that you saw in Thunderbird GUI when you compose a New message is... spellchecker...

Sorry. Closing this.

Added Thunderbird UI screenshot.

But, in facts, after some try...
I see spellchecker defaults to look for English US... instead of French for me.

So, in Preferences, Composition, Spelling, feel free to double-check English-GB is selected, for you Len (French for me is OK).


So, really closing this.
