Aspell installs ispell-like fron-end. The problem is not, that kmail can't find the spell-checker, it is that it can not understand, why spell-checker is failing.

My LANG is set to uk_UA.KOI8-U. I was editing a letter in English and wanted to spell-check it. KMail kept responding, how Aspell/Ispell could not be found, and would I please check the PATH.

I had to use ktrace to find out, the aspell was launching (no problem with PATH), but was responding with: "No word lists can be found for the language "uk_UA"".

It would be terrific, if KMail was NOT "trying to help" by hiding the REAL error and changing it with its own (bogus) error message.

It would be even better, if I could set the language of the message being composed (AbiWord allows to specify the language of any region of the text, actually, and will change the spell-checkers accordingly).

It would be best, if -- in addition to allowing me to specify the language explicitly -- the composer could properly GUESS based on the languages I specify in Control Center (under Regions and Languages) and the character set of the text typed so far.
