Dictionaries for Thunderbird:

• Don't try to install them as xpi, it won't work under Debian, instead, install the proper myspell package:
• apt-get install myspell-en-gb myspell-en-us
• That's all!
• Don't worry if you get twice the dictionaries in Thunderbird, these are just aliases created by myspell.
