First off sorry about the other email, the mailing list software removed the
attachments and converted your message to plain text. I got the attachments
in the copy you sent direct to me. Notes below.

I'm not sure what the problem is. If you could attach the .aspell.en.pws I
might have a better idea.
I've done a bit more "research" and have noted the following:
1- if I delete .aspell.en.pws and re-run aspell-import
the error message does not appear.
Then running "ispell" on the emacs buffer, it appears to work with no issues.
The file in question which I am editing is an html file.
2-
A) If I then (using emacs) delete the first line and save the file as s.1
B) then sort s.1>s.2
C) read s.2 and tack on the original first line from the original file and
save it again as .aspell.en.pws
D) the error occurs:
Error: /Users/magill/.aspell.en.pws: The word "personal_ws-1.1 en 635 " is
invalid. The character '\
_' (U+5F) may not appear in the middle of a word.
E) the file size is the same in either situation.
Have another look of the file, the line "personal_ws-1.1 en 635 " is also in
the middle of the file.
3- During a run of aspell-import, I get a number of errors about /M and
similar ispell suffixes.
There are affix flags that the personal dictionary can't handle. Something
like this should fix it by expanding the affixes; for example "Absalom/M" will
become "Absalom" and "Absalom's":
cat ~/A-ispell_english | aspell --lang=en expand | tr ' ' '\n' \
> A-ispell_english.fixed
The key part is "aspell expand". The "tr" command is used to convert spaces
to newlines.
