Subject: 23.2; flyspell ignores first line in message-mode
Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2011 16:38:09 +0100 (BST)

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
When using flyspell-mode with mail-mode or message-mode, the email header is ignored for spellchecking.

However, this incorrectly assumes that any such buffer will always begin with a header.  I use message-mode to edit the email body only, and I find that flyspell ignores the whole first paragraph of such a buffer.

Attached is a patch that causes flyspell to only try to skip over the header if the message really does begin with a header.

You're misusing message-mode.  I'd be surprised if there aren't more
"bugs" in such a circumstance.  Why don't you solve the problem right by
using message-mode as intended: add a dummy header.
