[SM-USERS] Using SquirrelSpell with IE7, Firefox, & html_mail plug-in

[Tahlya C. <tah...@hu...>]

Hello!

I'm having a multitude of problems that I think may be interrelated.

First off, I am runing Firefox 3.0.4, Internet Explorer 7, and
SquirrelMail 1.4.1 (the newest versions of each).

My problem is with SquirrelSpell and the html_mail plug-in. When running
SquirrelSpell in Firefox, I get this error when pressing the spell check
button that is within the html_mail plugin:

Error executing `aspell -a --lang=en_US --encoding=utf-8 -H <
/tmp/aspell_data_dg0Ez5 2>&1`
Error: Invalid Option: --encoding=utf-8

I have the most recent version of Aspell installed on my machine - this
looks like a file path issue. I have been up and down all the config files
and can't find the place to change the path that actually results in it
working.

Does the html_mail plug-in even use SquirrelSpell/Aspell? I have also
tried editing the config file for the html_mail editor to direct the
spellchecker to my hard drive.

Next, when using SM in IE 7, the html_mail plug-in doesn't even activate.
Also, not all of my options show up (under the options button at the top
of SM - one of the options I'm missing is for the Spellchecker). When I
hit 'check spelling' under the plain text editor, it just times out when
trying to connect to the server.

So, I'm stuck between being able to use my html_mail plug in with no spell
check in Firefox, or no html_mail plug-in and using IE's browser spell
check.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why one browser is showing
different things than the other when both are up to date.

Thank you so much for your help!
