Ah. Well that's reasonable. Now you just need to petition Google for such a 
feature :-) Hmm, I wonder if there are browser extensions for that kind of 
thing.

Alternatively you could move outside the forum web page and use other tools.  
Many of us interact with this via email, using whatever email reader we prefer. 
I am minded of a post to alt.peeves from long ago:

  I suppose the solution would be to close the composition window and let
  my article sit for half an hour or so once I've finished with it, and
  then go back and proofread it once more.  But that would be a pain in
  the proverbial bifurcated derriere.  Part of the experience of flaming is
  to load a searing missive into the conceptual breech of my SPARCcannon
  and pull the imaginary lanyard whilst flushed with the adrenaline of mortal
  combat.
