Re: [Evolution] Spell problems take two

I understand your frustration, however I can not provide any additional
insights.
 
The method that I described works for SuSE 7.2 or 7.3 on a desktop or
laptop with a KDE environment.  Would have expected that this method
would easily worked for you assuming that you are using RH and Gnome.

Looks like the guys from Ximian will need to provide your solution.
