ispell - German question

2004-01-22 Thread Dr.-Ing. C. Hurschler 
Hi,

I'm having a bit of a problem with ispell in Kmail (KDE 3.1.5).  It doesn't 
like umlauts (ä,ü, etc) and splits words with them, not recognizing the whole 
word.  I have the German Dictionary installed.

I run Debian primarily in US-English, which I'd like to continue doing.  Do I 
have to switch Locales (and Languages) for umlauts to be properley treated?

Thanks,

Christof

When you compose a message, you are able to configure the spellchecker via 
Settings-Spellchecker.

Set Dictionary to German and under Encoding try ISO-8859-1, this solved 
the same issue for me.
