flyspell in gnus

[Richard Riley]

I have flyspell mode on in new message buffers but flyspell is not
showing "on the fly" mistake hilights like it does in all my other
relevant modes. What do I need to enable? (latest magnus). Pressing f2
which I have bound to flyspell-auto-correct-word correctly shows the
relevant corrections for the word under the cursor despite it not being
hilited.

What's the value of `flyspell-highlight-flag' and
`flyspell-highlight-properties'?

Its set to t. 

HIliting works everywhere else : just not in gnus message buffers. flyspell mode 
is on.

The value of `flyspell-generic-check-word-predicate' in a
message-mode buffer is `mail-mode-flyspell-verify', isn't it?
This is set in a mail-mode buffer and a message-mode buffer; it
limits flyspell so as to work on only lines that are in a body
and don't begin with `>', `}', `|', or `To:'.  So, it won't work
in quoted lines.  Try this to make flyspell work everywhere in
a message-mode buffer (eval this in a message-mode buffer):

(setq flyspell-generic-check-word-predicate nil)

Otherwise: flyspell uses overlay to highlight words.  If some
hook (message-*-hook, post-command-hook, etc.) kills ovarlays
you won't see incorrect words highlighting.

I just did "bfore" typing this. No joy.

But it knows the word is wrong as flyspell-auto-correct-word works on
the unhilited mistake.

Hmm, No idea what could be gnus specific then . It works everywhere else
where overlays are used I think (autocomplete stuff).

Thanks for the info.
