Gosh! How come? In ispell.el, (ispell-get-otherchars) is

(defun ispell-get-otherchars ()
  (ispell-get-decoded-string 3))

What I just did is to REMOVE the "-" from this string. I really don't
see how (replace-regexp-in-string) could lead to the result you say it
leads!


However, I've made a big mistake so far, you guys were talking about
ispell, will I had flyspell in mind. Flyspell using ispell-get-word
(or so), the underlining is rightly done with the fix I propose. But
M-x ispell-buffer using ispell-get-line (or so) and calling ispell on
it, the result is not the same.

Depends on the case. The present one is not determined by Emacs (my
mistake).

You're completely right, my bad.

From here, I consider I don't have the necessary knowledge to help,
sorry.

No, that's what my proposition did, even if it seems not to work with
you (any idea why?).

However, this solution is maybe equivalent (but at another level,
ispell's one) to remove ``boundarychars [-]'' from francais.aff.
