From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031014 Description of problem: There is no option to add spell checking in the tools option of kmail, though "kspell" *is* present on the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdenetwork-3.1.4-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open kmail 2. Compose a message and try to check spelling / OR 3. Try to add spell-checking to the Toolbar. Actual Results: No spell-check options are available Expected Results: One should be able to add this option to the toolbar, if it is not already there. Additional info: Kspell *is* present on the system, as may be verified by launching kwrite. Also the handbook for kmail 1.5.4 (the current version) still has section 3 which mentions: "Checking the Spelling of your Message To check the spelling of your message, select Tools->Spelling.... KMail uses KSpell to check spelling, which is the KDE frontend to the ispell or aspell spelling checker. Note that you may first need to configure the spellchecker using Settings->Spellchecker...."
as i know kspell is no longer included in KDE-2.x and i don't see this option since KDE-2.x. The handbook is old and need to be upgraded. Please report this problem to KDE developer, so they can update the handbook. Thanks
