aspell Warning: Unable to enter Nroff mode

[wb8tyw]

Fresh msys2 mingw 64 installed today.

mingw-w64-x86_64-aspell mingw-w64-x86_64-aspell-en

$ aspell --version
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.8)

Platform is Windows 7, 64 bit.

$ printf "speling\n" | aspell -a
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.8)
& speling 23 0: spelling, spieling, sapling, spewing, spilling, spoiling, spooling, spline, spellings, pealing, peeling, sealing, selling, soling, spleen, sling, speckling, paling, piling, poling, puling, splint, spelling's

WARNING: Unable to enter Nroff mode: Unknown mode: "nroff".

A workaround is supposed to be to add --mode-none, which does not work either.

$ printf "speling\n" | aspell --mode=none -a
Error: Unknown mode: "none".

May I ask some questions to understand the issue.

• What does the warning and nroff mode mean?
• That message shows as warning, does that warning interfere will normal usage?
• Is there any other way to reproduce the error?
