Really? On Red Hat 7.3, for instance, there is no man page or info node for aspell or ispell. In fact, unless somebody told you about them you might not even know they were there.

If you built ispell using pkgsrc, there would be. Aspell has its manual in just
about every format but man page.

You figure out what flag feeds the speller and the location of the dictionary or language code.

Which with aspell is non-trivial. I couldn't see any mention of those things in my scan through the documentation on aspell.

The functionality stated implicity in section 5 and 7 of the manual.

Your documentation has to cover: [...]

It's not my prerogative to write manuals for morons. If you insist that this has
to happen before the functionality is added, then it's going to be awhile before
we can have such a useful feature which is seemingly so simple to implement.

Once you have that level of detail it's pretty simple to turn it into a couple of tables of data you feed into a script.

Go for it dude. Write one and see how long it takes to test and stabilize on the
platforms SqWebMail runs.

You're skeptical? Once upon a time I pointed out to Sam that the timezoneinfo shipped with Sqwebmail covered only 6 of the 19 US timezones and nothing else. His answer was that you have to add the timezones you want manually because it was impossible to generate them automatically. [...]

This is essentially the same argument with a similar solution.

There is now a script included in the contrib section of sqwebmail that will generate a full list of timezones that your machine knows about. [...]

Which doesn't work on my system. Good thing the SqWebMail build didn't break
because of that.

How long has Sympa been around?

This discussion was great... a little digressive now and time consuming. If the
basis of your argument is against implementing spell checking for multiple
languages until the config file can be created automagically and docu for dim is
written, I'm sure SqWebMail would be devoid of many of the features it already
has.

Happy to report that SqWebMail works fine with gnupg-1.2.6.
