##### Question 5.6

Can I set the dictionary based on the group I'm posting to?

##### Answer

Yes, say something like

         (add-hook 'gnus-select-group-hook
                   (lambda ()
                     (cond
                      ((string-match
                        "^de\\." (gnus-group-real-name gnus-newsgroup-name))
                       (ispell-change-dictionary "deutsch8"))
                      (t
                       (ispell-change-dictionary "english")))))

in ~/.gnus.el. Change "^de\\." and "deutsch8" to something that suits your needs.
