Pressing <Ctrl>T calls up the standard spell checker, or an alternate program you specified in the speller variable in your configuration. The standard UNIX spell checker reads in all the new lines of text (those which do not begin with the ``>'') and passes them through the spell checker. The spell checker does not provide alternative spellings nor does it remember correct words from session to session.
When you first use the standard UNIX spell checker, it may appear that it is randomly jumping all around your message: actually, it processes your message one word at a time, in alphabetical order.
