Could someone here tell me how to get the spell checker working in Kmail? I'm running KDE 4.4 and I can't seem to figure this one out.

If I try to compose a new message, I select 'View' then 'Dictionary' and I have the English(United States of America) selected but it doesn't find my mistakes.

I also noticed that it doesn't seem to be working in Kate either.

Try SystemSettings > Regional & Language > Spell Checker - maybe automatic spellchecking isn't enabled?

This setting was ok. I was able to get it going by installing 'aspell-en'. Once I did that everything worked as it should. I would have thought that kde would have it's own dictionary package.
