Using Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 in Windows 2000 SP 4

When I write a message and want to put in "soufflé", while I am typing I can
only write "souffle". My spelling check picks up the latter, so I manually put
"soufflé" in the dictionary. Now when I put in "souffle" it gets flagged, but
the dictionary doesn't offer my "soufflé" as an option. When I go to character
map, pick up the "é" and insert it manually, the spell checker removes the red
underline.

Frustrating. I had hoped that I would have a shortcut for souffle, saute, and a
whole other bunch of words.

Is there anything that I can do to improve the situation?

Install the French language dictionary?

Go to Edit...Preferences...(or Tools...Options... in Windows), Select
composition, go the the "Spelling" tab, and click "Download more
dictionaries."
