Windows Mail, British English Spell checker.

Does anyone know how to, or even if it's possible to set Windows Mail to
have a British English Spell checker. The default English is US English.
I've set every regional setting I can find to be UK, and Office has a UK
spell checker, but no luck in Windows Mail.

Thanks, Morgan.

Its not available. There might be a 3rd party solution.

Thanks for the info. Bit of a poor show and a step backwards on MS' part.
Considering that OE + Office would give a UK spell checker but W Mail +
Office doesn't.

Not the only "step backwards".

If you have Office you probably have Outlook.
Until Microsoft resolves the WM dictionary issue, you can use
Outlook 2003 or later as your email program.
