Not a problem with Tbird.  A problem with ES (the Usenet provider you
use) where a server went down, the articles database got rebuilt which
resulted in new article articles (which won't match those you previously

Could be you are using a view that hides old or flagged messages.

If you want something different, there are extensions you can add for
spell checking, like:

By the way, Thunderbird has its own newsgroup over at ---.
