Subject: [gentoo-user] Spellcheck not working in Kmail

1 Options/Automatic Spellchecking is checked and the status line at the bottom
2 of Composer shows "Spellcheck: on." Manually selecting Tools/Spelling shows
3 the message "Spell check complete." But no mispelled words are marked,
4 including nonsense strings like "lakjdfh."
5
6 ispell is installed. I can go to a command line and run the ispell program,
7 which allows you to manually enter words. Correctly spelled English words get
8 a response of "OK." MIsspelled words get a response of "Not Found." That
9 seems to indicate that ispell is installed, the English dictionary is
10 installed, and all is functioning normally.

12 Anyone have a clue why it's not working in Kmail Composer?

18 alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a
19 computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is
