For years my kmail checked my spelling as I wrote and underlined misspelled words. Now it doesn't do that and at the bottom of an email, it says Spellchecker: off. I can't find any place to change it to 'on'. Kubuntu 7-10 386 kmail --version Qt: 3.3.7 KDE: 3.5.8 KMail: 1.9.6 (enterprise 0.20070907.709405) bruce
