I am having a problem with ispell-buffer and ispell-region finding
contractions.
I have modified the ispell-syntax-table (in ispell.el :-( I'd rather
not have changed ispell.el itself, but...) to regard an apostrophe (')
as a legitimate character, and ispell-word seems to know how to handle
this: ispell-word on "you've" results in:
"Checking spelling of YOU'VE ... correct" in the minibuffer.
However, ispell-buffer and ispell-region keep giving me the
"cannot find ve in original text" message for words like "you've".
(Interestingly, "you've" when within quotation marks does not give me
the "cannot find ..." message. Hmmm.)
If I write the text to FILE and run "ispell FILE", all is fine.
I am running GNU Emacs v18.55.2 under SunOS 4.0.3, and I have applied
ispell patch2, making my ispell version 2.0.02.
Thanks for any pointers you can offer.
