Adding spell checking to Evolution mail client
Ubuntu, Tips and TricksI am not sure why I have never pusued this until today, but I for some reason have never spent the time to figure out why I didn't have spell checking in my Evolution mail client. I knew that Evolution used the packages aspell and gnome-spell, which I already had installed, so why wasn't it working?
When I went into my composer settings in the Evolution preferences, I saw a big empty box that was the list of dictionaries that Evolution was using. You would think there would be some method of adding them from there, but unfortunately it isn't quite that obvious. To add the English dictionary I had to install the package aspell-en. Once I added this I reopened Evolution and Bamn!
There it is. For the copy/paste inclined, try the following:
#sudo apt-get install aspell gnome-spell aspell-en

Glad to see there is another CF dev in DFW that likes to use Debian/Ubuntu based GNU/Linux Distros. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the tips. It worked first time.
Oh how such seemingly small changes are hard won!!
