It doesn't as far as I know. But you can with advantage use my
program newsbody as a filter between Mutt and ispell. The following
examples are taken the programs README file:
| Examples:
|
| Use newsbody to call ispell from the Mutt mailer, but don't
| spell check your quotes (they should not be changed) or your
| signature.
|
| Method 1 using Mutt's built-in ispell command:
| - Make a shell script with this command:
| newsbody -hqs -n $2 -p ispell -- -x %f
| - Make Mutt's ispell command call the script by means of this
| command in your .muttrc:
| set ispell=path/to/script
|
| Method 2 using a filter:
| - Define this Mutt macro in your .muttrc:
| macro compose i \
| "<filter-entry>newsbody -hqs -n - -p ispell -- -x %f<enter>" \
| "run ispell on the selected part"
You can find newsbody as part as the spellutils package at
<URL: http://home.worldonline.dk/~byrial/spellutils/>.
BTW. The Mutt translator teams may find the other program in the
package (pospell) useful.
