Re: spellcheck

If you mean Windows Mail, only american english is available.

Windows Mail used to (IN XP) integrate with OFFICE for the spell check, but
that seems to not be the case with VISTA.

Re: spellcheck

In Windows Live Mail, supposedly there's a tweak... according to Ildhund...

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

Don't know if it works...
Don't think it's possible with Windows Mail...
