Use the dropdown menu item Options in a composer window (so open a new message) and enable at the bottom Automatic Spellchecking. You can switch the language, provided you have installed more than one language, in the dropdown menu item Settings; click on Spellchecker... -- fr.gr.

I'd guess his problem is the same as mine: Spell check does not work at all in all KDE applications. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

I concur that spell checking does *not* work in kmail 1.3.5, but automagick spell checking does work in kwrite and kate. So "does not work at all" is not correct. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Did you install your language using the Yast Software manager. Drop down: View item Languages or search for aspell and install your language. And did you enable spellchecking in systemsettings; top section item Locale? -- fr.gr.

Strange. The automatic spell checking is usually right below Spellcheck in Tools menu, like it is in Kate. I didn't came on idea to browse other menus to look for it. Somehow it is not really intuitive to look for spell check option in Options menu. It is option in the spell check tool, but it is also a tool by itself, so changing location wasn't necessary. Someone was carried away in the effort to fix drop down menus.

As Patrick said it worked in Kate and Kwrite. It didn't in the Konqueror. I didn't check other. It is very good that it started working in Konqueror without application restart. In KMail I got to turn it off and on in Options menu to start.

Not before, but I did now, and spellchecker works. Now I can turn it on or off in KMail. The option in System Settings acts more like "Enable automatic spell check globally" then like "Automatic spell check enabled by default", at least for KMail. Bug or feature? To me it is more a bug. Also, spell check not enabled by default is not a good thing. Whoever came on such idea is probably annoyed with all that red underscores when editing program source, but for the majority that is must have, so asking for special procedure to have it is a bit awkward. Freek, thanks for the help. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

It was on by default after installation in my system (openSUSE 11.3 with KDE 4.5.0).
Freek, thanks for the help.
I just happened to know there was something in System Settings. When you do translations you come across all kinds of information. -- fr.gr. Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Sure. Spell check isn't working ever since I upgraded to SC 4.5. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Open "Configure Desktop" -> Locale -> Spell Checker -> check "Automatic" and your pleasure. then try in kmail. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Markus, it is something with update from 4.4 to 4.5 that gives trouble. I did what Freek told and all works fine. See Patrick's email for digest. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Top section is section "Common Appearance and Behavior".
