Hi Tim, > Trinity uses a selectable external backend program to actually do the > spell checking. yes, I know. That's why I listed a couple of choices. Teh problem behind ist: whatever I select in Control Center->KDE Components->Spell checking->Dictionary, KMail seems to use an English dictionary. Well, even English words get marked red. And I don't find Spell checking in the KMail menus. -- Viele Grüße, Hartmut Hungerhilfe: http://www.thehungersite.com Ohne Zensur suchen: http://suche.amnesty-bergedorf.de/ ökologisch suchen: http://www.ecosia.de Das heutige Motto: Fangen wir mit einer einfachen Frage an: "Wie heißen Sie?"
