Kmail spell checking gone mad

[verslenet-kde at yahoo.fr]

Hi,

I need help understanding kmail's behaviour regarding spell checking.
The problem I have is that it accepts as correct words that do not exist like 
mattain matinnée soirrée (in French).

You might say that the problem doesn't lie with kmail but with the dictionary 
used. It doesn't seem to be the case though.

I configured kmail to use aspell with dictionary Français (80) (even though it 
seems to be the same with every French dictionary) and utf-8 encoding.
It works (well most of the time) but as I said it accepts mattain matinnée 
soirrée as correct.

Yet, if I type 
        echo mattain matinnée soirrée | aspell -l fr-80 list
then aspell tells me correctly that those words are wrong.

It would be logical to think that those words have been added in a personal 
wordlist. But I don't have any (at least not that I know of) and I have the 
same behaviour for a newly created. Same thing also on two other machine, one 
with the same OS, one with another one.

So where does kmail look for words ? Where does he find a list saying the 
aforementioned words are correct ? Why do aspell and kmail give different 
results even though kmail is supposed to use aspell ?

Thanks for any help.

PS
My config :
- kmail 1.9.5 using kde 3.5.5
- debian etch (ubuntu dapper on another machine)
-aspell 0.60.4 and "aspell dump dicts" gives
