I am thinking that a straightforward solution to this would be to have evo spawn off different copies of "spellchecker --lang=<foo>" for each different language which is being used for composition. Also, it would be an amazing feature to have a preferences setting for the addressbook or listmanager or somewhere, which would say "use lang=<foo>" for this recipient. So as soon as you start replying/composing to someone, the correct dictionary would be chosen. A super-amazing feature would be to have a list of "approved dictionaries" for evo to have on hand. For me, that list would be one, for you it would be three. :-) And when you were composing an email to someone who didn't have a preferred dictionary setting set, evo would spell check in the first dictionary, and if there was a mistake, try the same word in the next dictionary, hoping to find a match in the lang=DE setting, rather than the default lang=EN setting. If it was able to do this consistently, it would say to you, "I was using lang=EN for this recipient, should I use lang=DE?" and you would say yes or no, as appropriate. Another thought I just had, since you are one of these people who can use more than one language (unlike myself, which is why I am asking), do you think it would be wise to spell check in all of your languages at once, only marking a word as mis-spelled if it was not in any of the dictionaries (lang=en, lang=fr, lang=de, personal)? I suppose that this would only be useful for the times when you are composing to someone who doesn't have a lang=<foo> setting in their addressbook information. rob _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
