I just tried the Spelling Check in Outlook Express for the first time, and it flagged almost every word in my message as misspelled, even though they were, in fact, all spelled correctly. So I went to the Spelling page of the Options dialog of the Tools menu, and discovered the cause of the problem: the Language Combo Box lists French as the one and only default. Since there is no list of other languages to choose from in this combo box, how can I change the default language to English so that the Spelling Check works properly? Thanks, or should I say "merci". _____ No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG. Version: 8.0.100 / Virus Database: 269.24.5/1479 - Release Date: 6/2/2008 7:02 PM
