Hi,

When I set a dictionnary in KMail, it is not honored. When I set French, it always falls back to English next time I compose a new message.

I can confirm this. It always tries to use the system's default spellchecker settings and never remembers the language that was used the last time. Imho it should have this feature.
Comment 2 Thomas McGuire 2008-11-25 13:31:46 UTC 
KMail uses the dictionary which is set in the identity configuration.
See also bug 170379.
Comment 3 Dexter Magnific 2008-11-25 14:38:26 UTC 
Oh Thanks for the trick. But is this a good behaviour (i.e. more than one place to set dictionnary) ?

Yes, I use that. Most of the time I use the identity-dictionary, but sometimes I need to write an email with the same identity but a different language. Then I need the combobox.

This has bitten me too...

I can accept that I need to set the default dictionary in the identity.

But then when composing a message, and I open settings / spell checker, the label beside the combobox, saying default language is misleading.

I set that, and I expect that from now on the default language will be this.

Either this setting should set the identity's dictionary
or change the label, and make it "language of this message"

(I would prefer the first solution, because this is easy to find, and the identity's dictionary is not a logical place)

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
