Greetings...
   I realize that this is somewhat off-topic for the list, but I
figure you folks should have some good suggestions.  I have grown
tired of ispell's deficiencies in spell checking email messages.  For
instance, I would really like it to be smart enough to ignore anything
that looks like an email address, and possibly URLs, so that I don't
have to continue to tell it to ignore domain names and such which are
not usually proper words.  Also, I'd like to be able to configure it
to ignore quoted portions of the message I'm responding to, as I make
it a practice never to correct someone else's spelling in email. :)
   So, any suggestions on a more "intelligent" spell checker?  I'm
running on a Linux box (RedHat 5.1, if it matters)...
   On another, somewhat unrelated topic, is anyone familiar with a
good package or library for general slicing and dicing of MIME
messages?  I'm specifically looking for a way to filter a message,
removing attached files of certain MIME types, hopefully replacing the
removed file with a reference to where it can be found (in other
words, the removal process will save a copy of it in a certain place,
so that it can be picked up via FTP, HTTP, etc.).  Having found
nothing that will quite do this, I may just put together a Perl or
somesuch script to do the job, as I don't think the parsing would be
too complicated, but I figured I'd make one more attempt to find
something first.
   TIA...
