If I were to insert all of the terms into my dictionary then most of those would come back later and be false negatives when they really were spelling errors. So I just live with it. Normally I don't use any spell checker at all. And sometimes that bites me because I have been making more spelling errors of late. When I do run the spell I run ispell-region over my response (and not over the quoted material) and then quickly space through the false positives. For me that works best. Bob
