I know of only one free Vista-compatible email program with Norwegian spell check:

Skulle du si noe Ragnar?
About to say something Ragnar?

Have used Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird for 6 months now, and I must say
that even if my typing/spelling is good (in Norwegian) its great to have the
spell check in both applications. THANK YOU MOZILLA! Can't belive that MS is
letting their competitors eat their way in to the market so easily. A classic
David/Goliath story! MS are "to big" to bother about theese small languages,
so we try the the competitor (Firefox/Thunderbird) and realize that both
applications are better than "big brother".

Look out Microsoft, they are about to bite your tail!
