[Alpine-info] Managing a few different spell-checkers

Dear alpineers,

I turn to the list with a request for advice and/or help.

I often write messages in more than one language, and as there are a few
different spell-checkers available (I have aspell and hunspell installed), I'd
like to be able to use one or another of these.

So basically I'd wish to have a simple way to decide upon one of a few
different possible ways to spell-check the text of an e-mail.

The single _^T_ option possible via .pinerc is a bit too cumbersome to be
effective; so I think I'll need to put a wrapper script in place of the
standard spell-checker, which would then allow the choice of a
spell-checker/language dictionary combination and only then proceed to use the
chosen way of spell-checking.

The question is: has maybe someone already written a script like I envision ?

Or are there any better solutions to my problem already available ?

Many thanks,

Iosif Fettich
