Every spell check program I've ever used will catch any instances of two words repeated consecutively (example, "to to..." when it should be "you to..." or "that that...". I just sent out an e-mail that had two words accidentally typed twice and Thunderbird did not catch it.

This is a standard feature of EVERY spell checker. Why doesn't Thunderbird check for this kind of mistake??

That would require a syntax checker, which Thunderbird does not have.

But a good idea
