tde-kmail spell checker works but missing from tools menu???

Greetings all;

TDE r4, kmail-1.9.10.

Just in th last 4 or 5 days, the spell checker in the tool pulldown menu has disappeared. It still works, hilighting the words it _thinks_ are miss-spelled, but the only way to fix it seems to be playing the 10,000 moneys writing MacBeth again.

Any body know how to re-enable that spelling thing in the tools menu and make it work again? It did work, for a few days after I installed TDE, latest. but it left at about the same time it forgot 40 of the 70 or so filter rules.

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
