Mutt (1.5.23) is rebuffing my every attempt to get ispell
working. Currently I have in .muttrc:
set ispell="ispell --mode=email"
This threw no error when mutt launched, so it was with high
spirits that I tried to send off deliberately misspelled emails.
Alas and alack. these arrived at their intended destinations
with their test misspellings intact.
Could it be (he asked) that spell-checking in mutt does not
follow on auto-magically (if that is the word I'm looking for
here) via the bare expedient of creating an entry in .muttrc
such as is on display several lines above?
Throwing myself on Google's mercy leads me to believe that the
only editor permitted (so to speak) with mutt is vim. I refuse
to accept this, and, if found to be true, would protest in the
strongest available terms through proper channels.
Please help.
Thank you.
