For me inline spell checking is not working (Kmail 1.13.3 on KDE 4.4.3,
Archlinux 64bit). With Auto Spell Check enabled in the Composer Window
(Rightclick anywhere in the message) misspelled words are NOT indicated with a
red underline. In the Background Kmail recognizes that a word is misspelled
because right clicking on the work offers you a list of corrections.  

Spell checking generally works if initiated from the Menu although I had to
install the aspell-en dictionary which per default was present in the list of
available dictionaries but not working. It then walks you through a spell check
in a popup window which is less than optimal since the background window gets
darkened (KWin) which makes things hard to read.

Inline spell checking generally is working in Kate with red underlines but not
in KMail so atm I assume the problem is with Composer


This bug report is old - Should I open another one maybe with screenshots and
some more information? It would be really great to get this fixed - especially
if you have to write in several languages a spell checker is indispensable for
professional emails.
