Subject: Better spell checker?

While the spell checker for pine is useful in that it tells you that 
the word is misspelled, I need it to correct my poor spelling too. Is 
there any good spell checkers out there that will work with pine that will
do this? Thanks for any and all help!

   Get GNU "ispell" version 3.1.18 and install it on your system or check
   to see if you already have one. Other versions will work too.

   Set your alternate editor to "ispell" with the "S" option in the Main Menu
   so it looks like the following:

   editor=/usr/local/bin/ispell

   Once you've set it up, you can load ispell with "Ctrl-_". Ispell is a 
   powerful spell-checker.

   Good Luck.
