Greetings all;
How hard would it be to enable the kmail spell checker to actually save to disk that which you click on the "add to dictionary" button. All it can do is save it in memory, but if you then recheck the same msg, you have to add those same words again.
I don't see a way to add a "personal" file that would enable this.
So is it possible?
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Not only is it possible. It is what happens!!
I was going to ask how to delete the things I have saved by mistake. There must be a text file somewhere, but no amount of googling and grepping has enabled me to find it.
Are these two questions that two sides of the same coin?

I would expect so, but when all the files I can find are owned by root, how does the user gain write access to them in order for this saving to occur for the next time it is used? I would much prefer a separate file that should it get too contaminated, could be edited by the user, or even nuked so a fresh start could be done.
I don't think allowing the user to add to the master files is a good idea.

I think it is, that is is personal to $USER and not global. And is a separate file, or anyhow a separate part of a file - and nukeable. I just can't find it.
What have you found? I'm desperate enough about a couple of things to be quite happy to have to become root if it will just solve it.

In the composer, settings>spellchecker, the create/affix checkbox was off. I assume this was the default, so I checked it, and we shall see if it now behaves as I'd like.
I had assumed that the settings menu's were global, but now I see they are not. Spell checking is not part of the main menu. It is not automatic, but must be invoked by clicking on the ABC button. However, using the pulldown brings it alive in real time. But there is no indicator as to whether or not this is enabled anyplace that I can find. The first two entries I made are your name. ;-)

What backend do you use in kmail? If it aspell there should be .aspell.LANG files in your home.

Thanks, Nick.
I have just changed to Aspell, so for now all is fine and dandy and all the spellings are pristine - until I next make a mistake! But no .aspell still. That and equivalent were what I first looked for. I could find no remotely relevant dotted files.
I am bound to make mistakes. I need to solve this by then! But until then, all is great. And this should be correctly spell-checked. ;-)

Still no .aspell visible in Konqueror, even when I made dotted files visible. But:

I have removed the "th". That's what is going on with nano.
There you are, Gene. Use Aspell and you will be home and dry. "pws" is presumably "personal word list". Most of those words were there befor e today, so I must have been using it for something. LOWriter perhaps? But I only changed KMail to it at 15:35.
It works as me, of course. I did check. It is, after all, a mad world. I went into root in order to use locate.
Thank you so much Nick. I shall go and dance a jig.

Be warned Gene or anyone else inclined to be as rash as I. After removing the "th" I started to use the spell-checker via Tools -> Spellchecker and it wouldn't run, though words were highlighting red beautifully in the text. Since the only thing I had done was remove the "th", I went back into the file and added it back, and all is now well. It must act as a delimiter in some way.

Its not "th" itself. First, it doesnt like empty strings, so you should kill entire line. Second, see this '23' here
personal_ws-1.1 en 23
Its a number of lines.

Ah! That was obviously relevant, but I hadn't worked out the relevance.

I've not been able to observe (yet) a similar behavior with ispell.

I'm using ispell, and the pws stuff seems to be working, except ispell calls it something else. It appears that it updates the main file as the date is today, about the correct GMT time when I added your name: gene@coyote:~$ ls -al|grep .ispell -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 920 Oct 10 07:37 .ispell_american -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 278 Oct 24 20:31 .ispell_american-huge <this one -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 616 Oct 13 21:58 .ispell_default
But all 3 are quite small, so it must source another master file. I'd have to assume so as theres a whole passel of ispell stuff in /var/lib.
It works as me, of course. I did check. It is, after all, a mad world. I went into root in order to use locate.
Thank you so much Nick. I shall go and dance a jig.
While I'm happy, I'm not dancing, I came down with a sore throat about 3 hours back. So I'm using Halls lozenges like they are M & M's.

I was using ispell. But Nick told me how to make Aspell work, so I changed to Aspell.
I have now got what I want. When I make a mistake and add something to my personal word list that I shouldn't have, I can easily edit it out.
I have now looked. For ispell I have: lisi@Tux-II:~$ ls -al | grep .ispell -rw-r--r-- 1 lisi lisi 2366 Oct 23 19:06 .ispell_british -rw-r--r-- 1 lisi lisi 5654 Oct 15 21:41 .ispell_default lisi@Tux-II:~$ Both lists are long and appear to have words I have added, which is corroborated by the dates.
