Automatically selecting language for spellcheck

Automatically selecting language for spellcheck

[Mart van de Wege]

Hi all,

Minor question here: I read groups in multiple languages, and I would
like to be able to have the spellcheck automatically detect the group
and select the right dictionary.

I know this is possible, I've seen some code somewhere to do it, but
I've plain forgotten where and I can't find it anymore. Anyone have a
link?

Here's the general idea:

Group name         Dictionary
de.*               german
nl.*               dutch
default            british

It's in the Gnus manual, see the Info node "Mail and Post".

Well damn.

Of course it is there. How did I overlook that?

Thanks!

I've often found that the Gnus manual, while actually rather complete,
is oddly hard to find stuff in.  It's hard to say exactly why though...
