Hi Jim, Whenever I send an E-mail which is likely to contain a number of words that JAWS won't reckognise, I press the escape key and I am then told that the spell checker has been stopped and would I like to send anyway. By default, I am already on the Yes button and so I just press enter and the E-mail has gone.

I live in Dundee in the east of Scotland and contribute to a group discussing a wide range of subjects. On the lighter side there's a lot of fun sending and receiving messages using the local dialect. When sending messages outlook express is, understandably, not happy with the word-spelling. I'm wondering if there's a way to temporarily disable the spell checker to let these messages through. Thanks a bunch. Jim T.
