[Pan-users] Spell checking in Pan (Debian KDE user)

[Chris Game]

Hello group; I'm a bit reluctant to revisit the topic of 
spell checking in  Pan, I see from the archive that it's 
been discussed a few times before. But I don't think this 
aspect has been explained. I find that Pan invokes Ispell 
automatically in the reply window, turning mis-spelled words 
red, and bringing up the usual Ispell dialog and dictionary 
suggestions on a right-click in the window. Now there's no 
menu item in Pan which mentions spell checking, and I didn't 
do anything special to get it going. What really puzzles me 
is that it doesn't happen always, and particularly it 
doesn't happen if I invoke Pan from the command line, and it 
usually does happen if I use a link from the menu which 
appears if I click the KDE icon in the lower LH corner 
(whatever it's called). Why should that be?

Regards, Chris Game.
