As some people know using flyspell with some modes are not fully
supported.  I know that flyspell with enriched mode used to give people
problems but I believe that has been fixed.

What would be ideal is to get Hunspell working if you follow the
emacswiki I still do not have a valid Hunspell working on two operating
systems.  One being Arch, the other OpenIndiana so I had to resort back
to aspell for both.

A little while ago I was thinking about filing a bug report against
emacs and Hunspell for that very reason but haven't had the time to do
so.
