[Evolution] Evolution 2.6 nothing in spellcheck list

[Joseph Stephens <joseph stephens capgeminienergy com>]

Hi all, 
I am having trouble getting spell check working on a copy of Evolution on my laptop.
The Version is evolution 2.6 running on Suse 10.1.
I have aspell 6 and supporting dictionaries installed. 
What got me to this point is that my spell check was broken. I also noticed that it was broken for other 
applications as well. That's when I discovered that I needed to update the aspell dictionaries for v6.
After doing this, to things happened. My other applications that use aspell started to work in regards to spell checking. Evolution started to see the fact that words were misspelled but has no way to manually check or offer alternate spellings.  
As I type this email, word highlighting operates on on misspelled words. I do not get any options to check the spelling and the spell check is actually greyed out. The only option I have is to "add a word to dictionary".
Has anyone had this issue before? I've been looking for a way to get evolution to refresh or something so that it will look or see that aspell is installed and that the dictionaries are up to date. And most important, that I can actually do a spell check and it offer up alternate spellings.
Thanks
jms
