I read the README.claws for 0.8.2claws when I downloaded it yesterday in
its entirety and had assumed that the README wouldn't get updated until
the next release. For most software users are lucky if it gets updated
once every few releases. It's nice that it's so up to date that the one
in CVS includes the latest changes, and I'm sorry I didn't take the time
to read it.

I realize that I picked an especially inconvenient time to upgrade from
the main branch seeing as 0.8.2claws came out the exact same day as
pspell/aspell merging (and .tar.gz packages of the old versions seem to
have disappeared off the net). Hopefully my public stupidity will
prevent anyone else that's thinking of switching between the main branch
and claws, or anyone who is thinking of trying claws in general, from
more headaches...

I had no idea that now wasn't the best time to be using claws if you
wanted to take a look at spell checking, and I have to presume that
others wouldn't have known that either.
