[rt-users] RT Spell Check

[Christian Gilmore]

Without doing something client-side (like a java applet that came with a
pre-loaded speller/editor), anything you do will be clunky. You could insert
an interface to ispell within RT's correspondence method or doing one of a
few other possibilities, but in the end you'd accept a correspondence, spell
check it, then respond with an error about all of the misspellings for the
user to then hunt around. I believe that your best, easiest course would be
to ask users to write their messages in an external application and then
paste in the result.

Thanks,
Christian
