Package: sylpheed
Version: 3.7.0-8
Severity: normal

Hello!

A few days ago, I began experiencing a strange regression in Italian
spell check within Sylpheed.
Some correct Italian words are no longer recognized as valid.
Especially words with accented vowels (which include non-ASCII UTF-8
characters), but not only.

For example, if I compose a message with the following text:

  """
  Questa è una prova che mi interessa poiché c'è qualcosa che non va.
  """

and select "it" spell language, I see the following red-underlined
words or expressions: "è", "poiché", "c'è".

For the record, the above text is the Italian for:

  """
  This is a test I am interested in, since there's something wrong.
  """

and all the Italian words are correct (I am an Italian native speaker).

The strange thing is that aspell (the program) does not seem to
have issues with the text:

  $ cat test.txt
  Questa è una prova che mi interessa poiché c'è qualcosa che non va.
  $ aspell -l it check test.txt 

Hence, I do not understand what exactly broke during the last days
of package upgrades.
Maybe the way Sylpheed communicates the text to aspell?

Please investigate the bug and fix it and/or forward my bug report
upstream, as appropriate.

Thanks for your time.
Bye!
