+Another one of my “this is simple but I never remember it” posts:
+running `aspell` from `emacs`.  Setup with
+
+    (setq-default ispell-program-name "aspell")
+
+in your `~/.emacs` file (from the [aspell
+manual](http://aspell.net/man-html/Using-Aspell-with-other-Applications.html)).
+Then use the standard `emacs` spelling commands:
+
+* `M-x flyspell-mode` enables Flyspell mode, which highlights all misspelled words.
+* `M-x ispell` spell-checks the active region or the current buffer.
+* `M-x ispell-message` checks and corrects spelling of each word in a draft mail message, excluding cited material.
+* `C-g` or `X` quits interactive spell checking. You can restart it again afterward with `C-u M-$`.
+
+With a bunch more commands in the [emacs manual](http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/emacs/emacs_109.html).
