spell check in Thunderbird response

Spell check does a little bit too much for me.

When I respond to an email I want spell check to make sure everything I write is correct.

However, spell check also checks what TB inserts, namely the line "On 06.11.2018 17:02, <somebody> wrote:"

Almost always I get an spelling error is flagged, i.e. when <somebody> is a fancy user name or email sender.

How can I tell the spell checker not to check this line?

The latest report on this bug, which goes back many years:

The spell check seems to flag some names in the reply header depending on the dictionary, even for the same language, e.g. EN-US and EN-CA.

Adding the flagged names to your personal dictionary (Add Word in Options/Check Spelling) is one workaround.
