Well, I did say "simple plurals"--meaning those to which you add "s" or
"es" according to a set of rules.  The oddballs can be treated as
separate words (and probably already are). But I see what you mean: the
spellchecker would allow incorrect plural like "mooses" unless some
kind of routine prevented that. Still, the point is the same.  Other
programs (Word Perfect, Word, etc.) manage to handle this without
forcing the user to okay and add virtually every plural formation.  I
don't see why PMMail can't do the same.

I like the PMMail edit window and would prefer not to have to use a
separate program to compose messages.  Still, I'm willing to give
another spell checker a try.  What is GPL?  Where can I find aspell and
ispell?
