While we are discussing spelling* checker improvements, my favourite
one has a unique feature - it maintains an undo stack. Many of my emails
contain code, and I get into a mental "auto-ignore" mode as I step
through (for example) variable names which I don't want in my dictionary,
then accidentally click ignore on a genuine error. (Or alternately, 
accidentally click change on a word which should be ignored). The only 
workaround in PMMail is to stop checking, cancel sending, fix the error 
and repeat the entire check. If it happens to be the last error in the 
message there isn't even the chance to do that. An Undo/back-up button 
could save a lot of wasted effort here.

*P.S. a "spell checker" is either an Amaericanese abomination or something
that Harry Potter would have use for.
