natbib, emacs, & ispell

How does one get the ispell command in emacs to ignore the \citep and
\citet commands of the NatBib bibliography style package used in the
natural sciences?

thanks,
Leif

Make it learn! Once ispell knows them as correct words it would read 
over them.

You too could create a new dictionary with all TeX related things and 
include it into the dictionary-alist.

Hm, I thought this could be done like this:

(eval-after-load "ispell"
  (let ((list (car ispell-tex-skip-alists)))
    (add-to-list 'list '("\\\\cite[tp]" ispell-tex-arg-end))
    (setcar ispell-tex-skip-alists list)))

But in my case this actually results in an "invalid-function" error as
soon as one loads ispell.el e.g. with `M-x load-library RET ispell
RET'.

However, simply copying the value from the definition of
`ispell-tex-skip-alists', adapting it and using `setq' works, but is
not so nice of course.

You need to quote the form in eval-after-load, as it's a function
not a macro, i.e.

(eval-after-load "ispell"
  '(let ((list (car ispell-tex-skip-alists)))
     (add-to-list 'list '("\\\\cite[tp]" ispell-tex-arg-end))
     (setcar ispell-tex-skip-alists list)))

Works great!  Many thanks to Ralf and Lawrence.
