Please let me know what kinds of Spell Checkers you are using with PINE.
Thanks!

Huh??  Pine (pico) has a built-in spell checker.  While in compose mode, 
press ^T (control+t).  It only picks up obvious errors, not anything near 
as good as WordPerfect would, for example, and it does NOT suggest 
corrections, but it's better than nothing.  By the way, I just ran a 
spell check on this message, and it told me that the following words are 
invalid, so you can see it's kind of lame: Newsgroups, WordPerfect, pico, 
comp.mail.pine, daviesc.   Hope this helps.
