In the main screen of Windows Mail, (not the compose screen), go to
Tools, Options, Spelling.
First select another language, click Apply. Then reselect English and click OK.

Are you on Vista Windows Mail? You should have an "Options" at the end of
the Tools list.

*** Be sure you are going to Tools on your main email screen - where the
Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, etc., are listed on the left - not on a newsgroup
or compose screen.

Then go to the Spelling Tab - Language (at bottom) - select some OTHER
language - not English - Apply - Okay.

Then go back in and select English. Then it should work.

NO, Becky Jo, -- it's just an inducement to spend $120 to upgrade to WINDOWS
7, where I bet there IS a spell-check utility, but, ALAS, NO WINDOWS MAIL
PROGRAM to evoke it.
