Re: [Evolution] Still no spell-checking: I'm getting desperate...

Hi Ujwal,

FWIW, I'm also running on Mandrake 8.1.  I updated the packages below
with the latest cooker packages.  The english cooker page is:
  
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerdevel.php3

Now spell checking is working very well for me (thanks Fredric!).

On my system, "rpm -qa | fgrep spell" returns:
ispell-3.1.20-17mdk
gnome-spell-0.4-2mdk
libpspell4-devel-0.12.2-2mdk
libpspell4-0.12.2-3mdk
pspell-0.12.2-3mdk
aspell-0.33.7.1-2mdk
ispell-en-3.1.20-17mdk
spellutils-0.7-2mdk
libaspell10-0.33.7.1-2mdk
aspell-en-0.33.7.1-2mdk

Cheers!
