Guy,

  I'm having similar problems with evo 1.2 but in different areas.
(spell checker)  If I create a new user (completely new to the box) that
user has spell check available.  Seems to be a problem with evo's
conversion of the 1.08 settings to the 1.2 format. I'm not sure what/how
to get this one working right... But brand new users get set up right
old users have the problems.
