[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]
Using ispell with a Portuguese dictionary to spell check a word that
contains either the ç or Ç characters causes the spellchecker to act as
if those characters were word boundaries.
Here the relevant part of the variable ispell-dictionary-base-alist
in my ispell.el.gz file:
("portugues" ; Portuguese mode
"[a-zA-Z\301\302\311\323\340\341\342\351\352\355\363\343\372]"
"[^a-zA-Z\301\302\311\323\340\341\342\351\352\355\363\343\372]"
"[']" t ("-C") "~latin1" iso-8859-1)
The second string, corresponding to the string returned by
the function ispell-get-casechars, should contain the values \347 and
\307, corresponding, in that order, to the ç and Ç characters.
Also, those values should appear in the third string, which is the one
that is returned by the function ispell-get-not-casechars.
In both cases, these values should appear inside the [].
However, trying to set the variable ispell-dictionary-base-alist with
the correct values on my .emacs, doesn't appear to solve the problem.
The way I found to fix it, is by changing the return values of the
functions ispell-get-casechars and ispell-get-not-casechars as so:
(defun ispell-get-casechars ()
"[a-zA-ZÁÂÉÓàáâéêíóãúçÇ]")
(defun ispell-get-not-casechars ()
"[^a-zA-ZÁÂÉÓàáâéêíóãúçÇ]")
My emacs version, as returned by the emacs-version command is:
GNU Emacs 23.1.93.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.4) of
2010-03-04 on rolando-desktop

Hi, thanks for reporting,
You should have used `ispell-local-dictionary-alist' instead for your
personal changes.
Anyway, I have just commited your changes to our bzr repo and I am closing
this bug report as fixed.
Cheers,
