Vista - Spelling Other Than The American Way

Any plans to add support for spelling/dictionaries other than English US? I
have Word installed, I have the Canadian dictionary installed, why can't I
use it? :-)

Also, am I missing something or is there no way to create distribution
lists?

The spell checker is the same, isn't it?

No, the WLM spell checker is way more sophisticated, in that it has
real time spell checking like Outlook/Word, and also auto-correct,
neither of which are in Windows Mail.

Also, Windows Live Mail already provides spelling options for
some varieties of English other than American English, but they
are hidden and require less than obvious efforts to find.

> You posted using Windows Mail.What, do you look at the headers for every post? ;-) Yeah, I posted using
Windows Mail but I use Windows Live Mail on every other computer beyond my
main workstation, so the question was legitimate.

Those two product names being so similar must give you fits. ;-)

monitor this newsgroup, or is there a better way to give them feedback?

Just for the record, it's not an 'errant file number' - 1033 is Microsoft's
code for US English. 2057 is the equivalent for British English.

If you'd prefer Canadian to British, change 1033 to 4105.

2. Close down WLMail.
3. Use Windows Explorer (or My Computer) to find a folder called Windows
Live\Mail\Proof\prf0009\2 in your Program files folder.
4. In there should be a file called spell.ini.
In XP, right-click on it and select Open with. Find Notepad in the list of
options, click on it and then on OK. The file will open; change 1033 to
2057, then File > Exit. When you are asked whether you want to save the
changes, click Yes.
In Vista, click start and type notepad. When the list opens, right-click
notepad and select "Run As Administrator". Then select File > Open, find the
spell.ini file as above and amend it.
5. Restart WLMail and see if your spell check is working.
