Description of problem: There are no dictionaries installed for thunderbird - please add a trigger script to either openoffice.org-langpack-??_?? or thunderbird with the equivalent of this script: ver=1.5.0.5 cd /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/share/dict/ooo/ for d in ??_??.aff ??_??.dic; do n=`echo $d |tr _ -`; ln -s `pwd`/$d /usr/lib/thunderbird-$ver/components/myspell/$n ; done thanks!
Fedora Core 5 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora Core 6, or Fedora 7, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. Thanks in advance.
This is still valid. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217187 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=244972 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217188
A current (Fedora 7) script could be: #!/bin/bash ver=`rpm -q --qf "%{version}" thunderbird` cd /usr/share/myspell/ for d in ??_??.aff ??_??.dic; do n=`echo $d |tr _ -`; ln -s `pwd`/$d /usr/lib/thunderbird-$ver/dictionaries/$n ; done
I don't think making thunderbird dependent on OpenOffice.org would make anybody happy.
Scrap comment 4, that's nonsense.

We're moving to hunspell in the nearish future which should fix this issue, so this is probably wontfix.
Since this bugzilla report was filed, we have seriously upgraded Gecko-related packages, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their distribution available. Please, confirm to us that this bug is reproducible on the latest upgrade of the supported distribution (that's RHEL, or Fedora 7, 8, and Rawhide). Setting the bug to NEEDINFO. If I won't get confirmation of reproducability in 30 days, the bug will be closed as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. [This is mass-changing of bugs which seem to be too old and irrelevant anymore; we are sorry, if this bug should not be incldued.]
I can confirm that it does still NOT work with 2.0.0.12-1.fc8
and also in rawhide
At this point, we're going to only be taking security fixes and major stability fixes into this release of Fedora. However, we still want to ensure the bug is fixed in the next version. We'd appreciate if you could test with the latest version of Thunderbird (2.0.0.12) now available for your distribution and provide feedback as to whether the problem still exists so we can file a ticket upstream as soon as possible.
Should be fixed in F9 (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureDictionary) and fixing this for Gecko apps is bug 218762. Closing as DUPLICATE. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 218762 ***
