Actually, yes :(. Many very common words are not included in the
dictionary. Here is the list of those I added in my user's dictionary
during the checking of one single message. If you know a little of
french, you will see that they are very, very common.

   Et aurions avait avec bien clair de du elle en es est faire fait il
   la laisser le lettre mes montres m=EAme ne nous par parent parents
   pour que sans serez te tes toutes tu vous =E0 =E9t=E9

I have not studied this problem deeply, but I noticed that some of those
words are sub-words of words in the dictionary. For example, 'parent' is
not in the dictionary, but 'parental' is. Could this be related to the
way the dictionary was generated (which I ca'nt check right now)?

PS: No need to CC me, I'm on the list.
