Ache (Andrey A. Chernov) was the original committer of this hack for Pine 3.96 and he sustained that it must go in 4.00 too... And BTW, he told me ispell won't work -- and as we don't have any other standard speller in the ports I agreed to disable it in Pico (like I said, Pico doesn't know to use anything else but the SPELLER defined at compile-time) and leave it enabled in Pine (who may use an external speller).
