#139: alpine's spell checker doesn't work-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: geofft | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Keywords:
-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- If you hit Ctrl-T in the body of a message in alpine's composer, it tells
you that "" doesn't exist. The speller variable is unset, and setting it
to aspell -c will make the spell checker work.
This appears to be a regression from, e.g., Linerva Etch, in which alpine
out of the locker apparently would let you spell-check. Although on
(current) Linerva Lenny, the locker fails in the same manner.
It also appears to be an upstream bug, in that this is the behavior when
you run alpine on a non-Debathena box. Even though Anders looked and
determined the Debian packaging configured alpine with aspell enabled...
I've committed r23596 to work around this, but we should really figure out
what's going wrong before uploading it.
