Description Håvard Wigtil 2001-09-25 10:40:38 UTC 
[Not sure if this belongs in Evolution or gnome-spell. Also, my version is
0.14.99 from 24th September]

Description of Problem: Evolution spell checks all text in the mail window.
I'm not interested in other peoples spelling mistakes, nor in spell
checking my signature (which contains text in several languages).


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Reply to a mail (that has spelling mistakes or is in another language)

Actual Results: Spelling mistakes in the quoted text are marked.


Expected Results: Evolution should not spell check quoted text.

Not sure about the "signatures" part, but I agree about cited
text.
Comment 2 ABDUL RAUF 2005-05-19 08:25:39 UTC

Comment 4 André Klapper 2005-05-22 00:24:48 UTC 
please also see bug 207128 which is about to not spell check URL's.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2005-05-22 00:35:40 UTC 
1) spell checking does not check subject, but should (bug 200683).

2) according to duplicate bug 242724, this seems to  be related to http://
bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=42119 which could be realted to bug 233194.

Comment 8 André Klapper 2017-02-09 13:38:38 UTC 
GtkHtml is not under active development anymore. 
Evolution (its main consumer) switched to a WebKit backend a while ago. 
It is currently unlikely that there will be any further GtkHtml development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 778387) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
