Outlook Express has /never/ come with a spell check. The OE and Outlook development teams used to collaborate, but since there is no longer an OE team, as OE will never be produced again, WYSIWYG.
MS needs to fix this, like YESTERDAY!!!?????<
I have never used an MS Office program and have always relied on a third party spell check.
There will never be any more updates to OE except for security issues. This issue should have been addressed 12 years ago to add a spell check to OE without having to purchase an Office product.
Why didn't anyone complain then?

I have this same problem with the French only dictionary - does anyone else
think this is just unacceptable? I am more than happy to install an update
or patch of Windows Update - there have been countless updates for all sorts
of obscure reasons, but I should not have to search the net for questionable
third party add-ons for something as simple as spellchecking my e-mail on a
program as common and current as Outlook Express!!! It's spellchecking for
Pete's sake! I have Windows XP Home, SP2 with Office 2007 - OE worked before
for us... now it doesn't. Never owned Off2003, and I certainly will not buy
it now. MS needs to fix this, like YESTERDAY!!!

provide English in America where Gates amassed $60BILLION. I dont want to
spend $400 for 2003 Office when I have the crappy 2007 Office that if
uninstalled will void my warranty and the two wont run side by side.
