As some people know using flyspell with some modes are not fully supported. I know that flyspell with enriched mode used to give people problems but I believe that has been fixed. What would be ideal is to get Hunspell working if you follow the emacswiki I still do not have a valid Hunspell working on two operating systems. One being Arch, the other OpenIndiana so I had to resort back to aspell for both. A little while ago I was thinking about filing a bug report against emacs and Hunspell for that very reason but haven't had the time to do so. Rthoreau
