I agree. I just had Office 2007 installed. Outlook Express is there, and it runs, but the spell-checker default dictionary is set to French and there is no longer any way to change it. Okay if you're writing in French, but not very useful for English. I found information on the web from Microsoft that the Outlook Express spelling language settings are no longer compatible with the global language settings made to MS-Office, so it is yet another indication of no more support for OE. I'll have to resort to using MS-Outlook instead.

The best thing to collect more information is you send us here in this list the message's headers. At this purpose, do the following: 1. browse your Outlook Express inbox folder and reach the message you received by Microsoft. 2. don't press Enter, but alt-enter, to view its properties. 3. press control-tab to read the Details page. 4. now, activate the virtual viewer by pressing control-insert-w. 5. go at the top of that window typing control-home. 6. type shift-control-end to select the whole text area, then press control-c to copy the text. 7. press esc to close the virtual viewer, then create a new message pressing control-n. 8. in the "To:" file,d put our list's address, then in the body paste with control-v the previously copied text. Having the headers I'll be more able to try to know if it was spam or a true communication. Bye Stefano
