SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Mail does not come with a spelling checker; therefore, there isn't a
way to check the spelling of words within a Microsoft Mail message.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future
release.

To work around this limitation, copy the text from the body of the message to the
Clipboard (or to the Scrapbook). Then paste the text in an application that
checks spelling (for example, Microsoft Word or Microsoft Works). Once the
spelling of the text is checked, copy and paste it back into the body of the
Mail message.

Another approach is to edit the message text in another application, check its
spelling, then copy and paste it into the body of the Mail message.

Please note that some third-party spelling checkers appear to work in conjunction
with Microsoft Mail. For example, Thunder 7 version 1.0 from Baseline Publishing
(formerly Thunder II from Electronic Arts) appears to work with Mail. (Note:

NOTE: Microsoft Mail cannot use dictionaries from other applications.
