Does PrivacEmail.com have a spell checker?
No. This is because of the way PrivacEmail encrypts:
When you login, a java applet (a small program) is downloaded in the background and sits on your hard drive. That java applet is responsible for encrypting and decrypting messages, and both processes (encryption and decryption) take place on your local computer so that messages don't leave your computer unless they are encrypted. (Unless you uncheck the "Encrypt Message" checkbox.)
The java applet is small so that the background download is fast so that older computers and slow connections (e.g. some rural areas) can use the system. If the java applet contained a spell check, it would take much longer to download because you'd have to download a whole dictionary every time you login.
