Hello,

is it possible to use the spell-checker ispell in (Unix-) pine?

Thanks in advance,

Joachim.

We run ipsell with pine on our system (AIX).

Here's what I have in my $HOME/.pinerc

# Specifies the program invoked by ^T in the Composer.
speller=ispell -x

Thank you, I'll get the new version of Pine, 3.93 has no "speller" option.

For using ispell with Pine versions prior to 3.92, a workaround by Michael
Ramey is described at URL: 

http://www.washington.edu/pine/QandA/custom.html#xtocid1883310

(Title: "How do I change spell checking in Pine (pre-3.92) and Pico?")

(PC-Pine users may be interested in the item above that: "How can I perform
spell checking with PC-Pine for Windows?")

Yes:

Two things to take note of here:
1) I'm using Pine 3.95.  I don't know how recently this feature was
added, but I think it's pretty new.  So, if you're using an older
version, the "speller" option may not be there.

2) ispell must be installed on your system.  If it's not in your path,
you may have to provide the complete path to it.

I tried to keep this quick and to the point, and so I assumed that
you're familiar with Pine.  If you need more detailed help, feel free
to mail me directly, or followup to the group if you feel that's
appropriate.
