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

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. ;-)

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.

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

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.
