LOL.  FWIW my brain is obviously elsewhere today; when reading the commits 
I interpreted "post-ui" as one interprets "post-apocalyptic": post -> 
after: ??after-ui?? and it just wasn't making sense!  Took me /way/ longer 
than it should have (especially being pan where the context should be 
obvious, especially given the two-decades-plus I've been using pan and on 
this list, and my familiarity with several of the MIME/mail/news RFCs and 
news/nntp terminology) to figure out it was post-as-in-email/news-
message!  I /knew/ I was "somewhat" preoccupied and still tired after a 
rather eventful (in a good way =:^) "real life" weekend, but I didn't 
realize I was /that/ preoccupied/tired! =:^)

FWIW app-text/gspell on Gentoo.  I wasn't even aware the package existed 
until now and had to merge it as part of my pan update.

Seems to be working well; changed the ebuild dep, rebuilt pan which 
properly pulled in the new dep, restarted pan, in this reply all the 
expected non-usual words are red-underlined and it properly let me replace 
my "apocolyptic" with "apocalyptic" above, so seems to be working as 
expected both building and in-use. =:^)
