  • claws mail spell checking

    From Marco Moock@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 16 09:00:33 2024
    Hello!

    How is spell checking in Claws Mail handled in FreeBSD?

    I installed aspell de-aspell and en-aspell. Also tried hunspell
    packages. enchant is also installed.

    How can I further diagnose that?

    textproc/enchant
    <URL:https://www.freshports.org/mail/claws-mail/>

    I installed aspell de-aspell and en-aspell. Also tried hunspell
    packages. enchant is also installed.

    Possibly just textproc/hunspell <URL:https://www.freshports.org/textproc/enchant/>

    There might be a command line interface: <URL:https://www.freshports.org/textproc/hunspell/>

    If you can duplicate, might want to file a bug with upstream: <URL:https://github.com/hunspell/hunspell/issues>

    It installs enchant and hunspell itself, so those are the ones. I have it working. I seem to remember something about installing them first to make
    it pick them up. Might be worth deinstalling just claws-mail, then reinstalling. That shouldn't mess up mailboxes etc.

    I see that that textproc/hunspell does not bundle its dictionaries:
    # pkg query %do hunspell
    # pkg query %ro en-hunspell

    Possibly, the OP will need to install one or more:
    # pkg search hunspell

    This didn't fix it.
    Any other suggests?

    Have you checked the settings in Configuration -> Preferences?

    Yes, I wasn't able to choose a dictionary.

    Does hunspell(1) work from the shell?
