alter language in T-bird on the fly

[anthony baldwin]

Amigos,

I know I can set a default language for T-bird, but, I write in
4 different languages (EN, ES, FR, PT).
Now, for instance, in OpenOffice, I can highlight text, rt-clik,
and choose another language, so spellcheck is set for the appropriate, 
language,
etc.
Is there a way to do this in T-bird?
Everytime I write in something other than EN, it lights up the message 
in red.
I have the dictionaries installed for my other languages, but, it seems
like T-bird only wants to deal with one language at a time.
Changing the default language everytime I write a message would
be neither practical nor convenient.

Should I be pestering someone at Mozilla.org about this, rather than
this list?

Muito obrigado, merci beaucoup, muchas gracias,
thanks,
tony
