I do not spell reliase with a 'z'
I have tyres on my car, not tires
I also have colour in my life, not color

Hi Duckysan,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

Windows Mail only has the English (US), French (France), German (Germany), Spanish (International Sort) languages available to it. If you want or need a email program for languages other than these, then you might consider using Mozilla Thunderbird instead. See: Mozilla Thunderbird Language Versions

Thanks Brink. Of course, Windows Mail has gone backwards in this respect as the old Outlook Express had the option. Cheers, Duckysan

Your welcome Ducysan,

I agree.

I don't know how I found my way to this site but your directions were excellent and you fixed my problem. What I was doing before was clicking on the tools tab in an email message. Your explanation was to click on the tools tab from the main email screen. It worked!

Thank you because I am a terrible speller and I rely on spell check.

Your welcome fulweiler. LOL, I'm not so great myself between that and the typo's.

With the Win Live Mail the language can be swapped to UK (or Canadian) English with a simple edit to the spell.ini file. The same dictionary file is used for all English variations, so hopefully MS will make it easier to change in an update.

This thread in the Live Mail forum gives the particulars.

	If you're looking for British English spell checking (so colour is accepted but color gets a wiggly red line), use Notepad (run as Admin) to open spell.ini in %programfiles%/Windows Live/Mail/Proof/prf0009/2 and change lang=1033 to lang=2057. For Canadian, lang=4105.

It's also a better email program IMO.
