Anne:

I have downloaded the Ispell package but have not been successful in unzipping 
and installing it despite the included instructions.  On further review I 
have located Aspell files in a folder but cannot select a path for Kmail to 
access it.  Under Settings/Spellchecker I have a dialogue box that allows 
selection of both options but it has no effect.  Any suggestions would be 
appreciated.
