- I think a better option is to add ispell to your editor, where it will
- be available for all mailers and anything else that uses $EDITOR. Both
- vi and emacs provide macro facilities for doing things like this.
- I think you're out of luck from ed though . . .

- Here is the vi macro I have been using successfully (the ^M's are
- carriage returns):
-
- map #i :!ispell -x %^M:n %^M^M
