I thought that pine was a mail program. Are you telling us that one must use a mail reader to use a spell checker? (I normally do not use a spell checker, but this seems to be pretty far out.) --doug At 20:54 01/20/2003 +0100, Carlos E. R. wrote:

I have not found any option for that in the ispell man page, it only mentions html, troff o tex keywords or tags being recognized. As for aspell, there is no "man aspell", and substituting "ispell" by

I presume that you are talking about email quotes when you are talking about words preceeded with >.
Right; I should have said "lines starting with '>' ie, quoted text". Pine sends the complete text to ispell, which offers corrections for the quoted text as well - and I don't think I should even try to correct text which is not mine, it is not polite :-)
I have used Ispell and Aspell extensively with different mail clients through the years and they both work out of the box. I don't know what you problem could be.
Well, it works, I only have to manually skip that part of the text. It works but itsn't nice.
Maybe you have configured Pine to not put a space between > and the quote.
Nope :-)
With Aspell you can try:
aspell -e
(this puts it in email mode) and see if it helps.
Mmm, no... it says:
[ Alternate speller abnormally terminated (255) ]
Ah, I got it working with "aspell -e -c ". I'll leave it, it works. I'll just have to remember to use "i" (ignore) and not "a" (add), which in ispell means "accept". After all, I can not configure pine for more than one language, so I'll use aspell with pine.
