Preferences only allow 'fi' dictionary, email compose shows it IS Finnish

OpenSuse Tumbleweed.  The last version on Tumbleweed, 3.18, introduced this
problem, hoped 4.0.0 would fix it but it did not.

All compositions show virtually all spellings are in error, red.  Preferences
shows "fi" for dictionary, no other options; guessed it was "Finnish".

Created English phrase "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog",
translated to Finnish, all words spelled correctly in Finnish in compose, ergo,
it truly is a Finnish dictionary buried somewhere on the system.

Contacted Paul ... he said Claws uses hunspell.  Had those libraries installed
(Libreoffice spelling always worked fine) but not hunspell UI - installed, no
difference.

Only dictionary installed that I am able to find for hunspell is English:

art at philadelphia:/usr/share/hunspell> l
total 544
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   3090 May 27 10:01 en_US.aff
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 551260 May 27 10:01 en_US.dic

I can understand some mis-configuration for the dictionary, but I don't
understand why I cannot change it to an installed English dictionary for
hunspell.  I did not find help for this problem in clawsker.

Thank you!
