Dear List, GtkSpell, which Balsa has used to provide inline spell checking, is not actively maintained, and can be replaced with Gspell[1] with no loss of functionality. Gspell is essentially the Gedit spell checker, and is also used by LaTeXila.
Well, it turns out that "no loss of functionality" will be complete only with the release of Gspell version 1.2. GtkSpell allows the user to change the spell-checking language through the context (right-click) menu; that feature will be implemented in Gspell's API version 1.2, which is currently being tested in the unstable 1.1 series, but is not in the 1.0 releases. Balsa has conditional support for that feature that has been tested using jhbuild, but of course the API is not yet stable, and Balsa's support will need to follow any API changes. Peter
