Hi,
sorry for my late reply, I was busy ... working! Ouch!

Thanks a lot for your answers guys, much appreciated :-)

I would like to implement one of the previous follow up which explained how to auto
detect the buffer's language but for now I would be more than happy with
this simple and good solution, the function works fine when I call it
from M-x "name-function" but something strange happens when that is
called by the message-send hook:

run-hooks: Wrong number of arguments: (lambda (lang-char) (interactive
"s(e)nglish or (s)wedish: ") (let ((lang (cond ((equal lang-char "e")
(let nil "british")) ((equal lang-char "i") (let nil "italiano")) (t
nil)))) (if lang (progn (ispell-change-dictionary lang)
(ispell-message)) (message "Spelling not done - no support for: %s"
lang-char)))), 0

This is what I get in my mini-buffer when I send my email, any thoughts ?
I am new to Emacs Lisp therefore I could some  silly mistake.

Thanks a lot.
Pietro
