24 September 2005 Dear Mike, it seems that the problems with XEmacs are not over yet. Ispell does not work. When I start Ispell under XEmacs, I first get the message Starting new ispell process and then Can't open /usr/lib/ispell/english.hash At the end of this message, you find the system info of my XEmacs installation.

This facility, while part of base XEmacs, is heinously underfeatured, and not going to get better in the medium term. We include it so that bug reports work without packages; we suggest that you choose and/or install one of the other mail clients from packages if you're doing something other than M-x report-xemacs-bug , or even if you are reporting bugs regularly. To choose a package from those installed, click on "Options" -> "Internet" -> "Compose Mail With ..." and decide on one from the list. Gnus and VM are full-featured and have active user communities. To disable this warning and stick with the old behavior, you can explicitly initialize `mail-user-agent' to 'sendmail-user-agent . Loading xemacsbug...done Loading xemacsbug...
