Description Paul Menzel 2014-11-06 06:54:52 UTC 
Evolution spell checks the subject. With Debian Sid/unstable and Evolution 3.12.7, enable the German dictionary, enter the correctly spelled “über” into the subject it is marked incorrectly as misspelled. Enter the same word into the mail body and it is not marked.

It works correctly with “Spaß” so it seems to be a problem with umlauts, that means characters composed of two parts (not i though).
Comment 1 Milan Crha 2014-11-11 12:49:37 UTC 
The problem was that the 'über' doesn't begin with an alpha letter. Such words were skipped for spell checking completely. My fault.
