I use flyspell mode when composing email messages (C-x m, bound to vm-mail; VM 7.18). In .emacs I have: (setq-default ispell-program-name "aspell") (autoload 'flyspell-mode "flyspell" "On-the-fly ispell." t) (require 'ispell) and I am using aspell 0.50.3 (corresponds to ispell 3.1.20) out of the cygwin distribution, flyspell.el version 1.7d (I downloaded this from the author's site after the default version did the same), and the default ispell.el 3.4. OK, the symptom. I'll start composing a message and emacs will completely hang. It won't even screen-refresh (I can wipe other windows over it and it blanks the emacs window). I hit C-g and it will return me to normal, but then spell-checking stops on that message. That's why I'm concluding it's ispell/aspell/flyspell, but I'm certainly interested in other opinions or ways to track this down. It's worrisome because I have such a vanilla installation with not much customization. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. JDO
