I'm using gnus to read newsgroups, and I would like to have flyspell run
automatically whenever I write a message in reply to a posting. At
present, the mode bar says: (Message MML Abbrev Fill Narrow). Does this
mean I'm in the Message group?
I try this in the init file for gnus:
(dolist (hook '(Message-mode-hook))
(add-hook hook (lambda () (flyspell-mode 1))))
Not only does this not open flyspell automatically, but when I try to
open flyspell manually (M-x flyspell-mode) I get an error that
/usr/lib/aspell/american-huge cannot be opened". Although I have
iamerican-huge and wamerican-huge installed, there is no such
american-huge file.
I would like to be in flyspell minor mode whenever I reply to a
newsgroup without having to remember to start it manually.

This means `message-mode' is the active `major-mode' and MML, Abbrev,
Fill and Narrow are enabled minor modes. (The so-called lighters in the
mode-line don't need to correspond exactly to the mode name.)

The problem is that the hook is actually named `message-mode-hook' so
(dolist (hook '(message-mode-hook ...))
(add-hook hook #'flyspell-mode))
will do the trick.

Hm, that seems to be an aspell configuration problem. Or do you have
any configurations to flyspell-* or ispell-* variables in Emacs?

Yes, it did, and I thank you. Not am I now in flymode without having
started it manually, but the problem of not finding american-huge file
also disappeared.

For anyone who doesn't want to use `flyspell-mode' but
still would like to spell messages, this can be done
with `ispell-message'.
Abort spelling with C-g - it'll echo something strange
(I reported that bug), but all it does is stop the
spelling, which is what you want.
The documentation is also obsolete with mention of
GNUS 5 and GNUS 4.
Other than that, it works well.

You're welcome.

Oh, good. But that must have been a side-effect of something else,
e.g., some aspell package has been upgraded, or maybe you're restarted
the system...
