Re: default charset

[Marco van Oostende <marco oostende nl>]

Same here. I raised this question some weeks ago, in a more functional way:  
can we set a default language so that we don't have to specify it for aspell  
to check the desired language. It would be nice if such functionality could  
be mixed.

Best regards,
Marco
