Sorry, Paul, I did not expalin that correctly. The "error message"pops
up as soon as I click eithth "compose" or "reply. Interestingly enough,
the error message is cumu8lative. Observe.

The spell checker could not change dictionary.
Couldn't initialize None dictionary:
(null)

Second time:

The spell checker could not change dictionary.
Couldn't initialize None dictionary:
(null)
Couldn't initialize None dictionary:
(null)

It will continue to add a new line for each invocation. That seems
strange.

Running CM under gdb with "--debug" emited this probably not too useful
output. CM is not build with debug symbols. This happened just as I
clicked on 'Reply" to this message.The

The "gtkaspell.c:681:Aspell: Could not create spell checker." line
seems troublesome.

So, do you have any ideas? Other than being an  annoyance, it doesn't
seem to be doing any noticeable harm.
