It seems that the emacs-lisp fron-end is *not* passing one word per line to the ispell server process. Instead, it is passing *entire* lines of text. Look at the ispell-filter-hook and ispell-filter-hook-args values in ispell.el. My values here are "tr" for ispell-filter-hook and for ispell-filter-hook-args '("-cs" "[A-Z][a-z]" "[\\012*]") The two values work in concert to break up the buffer into single words to be fed to ispell. ---Kayvan
