a. Requirements
---------------
- Note:
- As for version 0.8.3 (and cvs version 0.8.2claws3), Sylpheed-Claws uses
- the new GNU/aspell 0.50 for spell checking instead of the obsolete pspell
- and old aspell 0.33.x. You will need to upgrade your system. See
- http://www.gnu.org/software/aspell for instructions on how to do this.
-
- The spell checker in Sylpheed requires the new GNU/aspell library
+ The spell checker in Sylpheed-Claws requires the GNU/aspell library
(http://www.gnu.org/software/aspell), version 0.50 or newer.
You also need the dictionaries. Check GNU/aspell home page for how
NB: The old dictionaries used by the old aspell will not work.

- Spell checking is enabled if you configure Sylpheed appropriately. Add

c. Usage
--------
- NOTE: if you upgraded from Sylpheed-Claws 0.8.2 (or cvs version 0.8.2claws2)
- or earlier, please check if the dictionary path was updated in the
- Configuration -> Common Preferences -> Spell Checker menu. If not, update
- it accordingly as explained below.
-
After successful compiling, you need to tell Sylpheed where your
dictionaries reside. The configure script should have found it,
but in case it did not, run 'aspell config dict-dir' on the
shell to get the path to the dictionaries.
- Then run Sylpheed and go to Configuration -> Common preferences ->
- Spell Checker. Check the box 'Enable spell checker' and
- use the file selector ('...' button) to select the path where the
- dictionaries reside. Within the file selector, go to that directory
- and select *any* file in the file lists. Click OK. Then, you should
- be able to select your default dictionary.
