Also have a look as 'aspell', which I found to have a more extensive dictionary and thus suggestions for words. I also discovered that sending stdin to it from a perl script can be quite slow (e.g. an email that has several replies), however there's a perl module interface that I also discovered on CPAN -- haven't implemented it yet, too busy.
