The problem is not Thunderbird.  It is Usenet itself.  It's pure text 
messaging from the 1980s, and once you type it, it's there.  At least 
Thunderbird lets you use a keyboard to get there, and it has a spell 
checker.  (Thunderbird just now told me how to spell "Thunderbird" 
without a capital H.)  But nothing will make you say "bad" ought to be 
"good".  And that's probably a "good" thing.  8{D>
