To each his own, Björn. I never did like Thunderbird and I'm not that
enthused in using nntp either. I like what I have because it works for me,
especially since it has been improved since the source code was released
for further development.

Which any Swedish dictionary would have shown them?

Cool.

Can that be added to the resident dictionary, as it can be in Mozilla's
Firefox browser? The email client in Firefox can be upgraded to show that
to be a correct possessive noun. Any subsequent spelling check would look
at the word and conclude that it is a correct spelling.
