The spelling dictionary doesn't have definitions, just spellings.

The "dictionary" supplied by the OS has definitions.

Those are two different dictionaries.

Whether or not the dictionary file that's used by Ctrl+Cmd+d is the same
file that's used by the Dictionary application doesn't matter. You can
get spellings and definitions in Mail as in all Cocoa apps that have it
enabled. That's the point.

The point is that the dictionary file used by the spell checker is not the
dictionary used by control-command-d.

The dictionary file used control-command-d is the same dictionary used by
dictionary.app, but it is not the spell-check dictionary.


My point was that the reader of Jeffrey Jones' post could easily infer that
definitions are not available in Mail.
