In the past (maybe a year or so ago), Thunderbird used to not offer any spell check dictionaries I didn't even ask for. Now, it offers me a big list of stuff I don't want: English (AU) English (CA) English (GB) English (GB-oed) English (NZ) English (US) English (ZA) I used to only have three. English US, German and Greek. Having the menu filled with the above is pretty annoying. There should be a way to disable that stuff, probably with a USE flag, since I think TB is using Hunspell or something. I don't want it to use Hunspell, I want it to only use my add-ons for spell checking. Reproducible: Always

And besides, that doesn't answer the question.
For anyone suffering from the same issue: As a work-around, I've deleted the unwanted dictionary files in /usr/share/myspell and edited the dictionary.lst.en file in the same directory.
We won't fix this since it's not a bug, and an obvious workaround is available.
(In reply to comment #5) > We won't fix this since it's not a bug, and an obvious workaround is available. The workaround is not really a workaround. I need to do this every time the package is emerged. It's not user-friendly.
