Well I'm sure that you would get more recognition for that view if you replied to the list address rather than directly to me and hence increased your audience. It's very easy to change the address, even if your MUA doesn't do it for you. I use Pidgin on both Windows and Linux, I have working spell checking in both cases, installed and configured with essentially no effort beyond a few package selections on Fedora and a couple of clicks on Windows. Adding plugins is actually clunkier on Windows, but that's because the additional plugins are not part of Pidgin itself and creating an installer is much more difficult on Windows than creating a package is in most Linux distros. > > Paul > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Brian Morrison > Sent: 21 June 2011 17:31 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Where is Spell Check?
