Yep, thats a known bug. You can search the archive, that came up the
last two weeks.

You can work around by Bcc: any recipient (yourself) to not show the
address. You will get a warning, but you can send. (Warning due to SMTP
servers, that might deny mails without To: recipient.)

Another workaround (if I remember correctly) was mentioned by someone
else: Save the message as draft, then send that.

AFAIK thats since Evo 1.2.2.

Spell checking works great here. Check Tools / Settings for languages,
maybe a missing package.
