Thinking about it, is it possible that the path to spell checkers could be configured somewhere in the Trinity Control Center or somewhere in Kmail?
As I said, I use web-based mail service, so I don't know much these apps except for Outlook on Windows. I don't know if Mozilla Thunderbird can be good enough for you?

Thank you! If there is some users, it means that it worth doing it! I have some ideas for the next version, such as removing Firefox and using Chromium in place of it, installing a media center (such as xbmc), making more superkaramba widget available by default and finding some good artwork to modernize the look of TDE. Have I said that I find horrible (and horribly old) the Crystal SVG icon theme and the general default theme? In my humble opinion, it is the single thing that is causing the most trouble to the TDE project, because nobody can talk against TDE in every other areas!

Okay, I'll touch wood! Promise! I use often my livecd installed on a sd card in my Asus EEE (first gen) and sd cards are not the most reliable things on earth concerning data corruption, even SanDisk ones... Lexar are not that bad, but generic ones are slow and unreliable...

I have not seen this bug yet! Is it happening to your friend's computers?
