[emacs-wiki-discuss] RE: emacs-wiki 2.69 released

Hi Michael:

Thank you (and the contributors) for working on emacs-wiki.

You wrote, "Flyspell does not mangle link properties in this way on Emacs21."  
I have trouble understanding the entire paragraph in which this appears.  It 
seems as though you fixed a problem that occurred only with Flyspell on CVS 
Emacs, and that you believe the problem doesn't exist with Flyspell on Emacs 21.

In fact Flyspell does interfere with emacs-wiki (the two most-recent versions 
I've tried: 2.67 & 2.69) on Emacs 21x in at least two significant ways:

First, is the problem with Emacs crashing, which I posted about here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-wiki-discuss/2005-03/msg00104.html

Second, when I click my mouse-wheel on a mis-spelled link, Emacs will interpret 
that as M-x flyspell-correct-word, rather than follow the link.  I'd assumed 
this is something unique to the version of Emacs compiled for Windows.  Either 
that, or there's a certain order the hooks need to be installed in.

Since I've added the names of all my project pages to my dictionary -- to keep 
Emacs from crashing - I've circumvented both problems.  But it doesn't change 
the fact that Flyspell and emacs-wiki are highly incompatible even on Emacs21.

I write all this not expecting this to be fixed.  (I'd rather see time spent on 
muse or enhancements).  But I thought you should be aware of this.

All the best!

 - Likewise, flyspell should not try to color anything that is
   interpreted by emacs-wiki as a link.  This includes WikiNames,
   extended links, and URL's.  It is a known problem that this has no
   effect in Emacs21.  This isn't a huge concern for me because the
   main point of keeping flyspell away from links is that when
   flyspell colored links in CVS Emacs, it was making them
   "unclickable".  Flyspell does not mangle link properties in this
   way on Emacs21.[snip]
