Setting flyspell-mode when entering a file

Setting flyspell-mode when entering a file

[Sarir Khamsi]

I would like to automatically enter flyspell-mode when I open a file
and have placed

-*- flyspell-mode: t -*-

at the top of the file I'm opening. The mode-line says "Fly" in it but
flyspell doesn't seem to be working. If I then run the flyspell-mode
command interactively (twice since it seems to already be enabled), it
works fine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

You can set flyspell mode for specific modes. This is what I have:

(add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'turn-on-flyspell)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-flyspell)
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'flyspell-prog-mode)
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook '(lambda ()
                                   (setq flyspell-use-meta-tab nil)
                                   (flyspell-prog-mode)))

(defun turn-on-flyspell ()
   (interactive)
   (flyspell-mode 1))

OTH,
  Maurizio

Do you see any interesting messages in the *Messages* buffer, after
you visit such a file?

How does "-*- mode:flyspell -*-" work?
