I go to tools, like everyone is saying, but when I do that there is no
options for me to click on too. There is a spelling one to click on too.
But is I click on to that I just get the same message "This language is no
longer available for spell checking." Where do I find where I can choose a
language?

I have the exact same problem as Irish - no Options. I'm new to Vista - is
this one of the "improvements" we get with Vista??

You're looking in Tools in the wrong window.
Click on Tools in the main Windows Mail window, not in a compose message
window.

Thank you, Dave. And here are few additional steps to set it up.

Tool -> Options -> Spelling -> check the box with "Always check spelling
before sending.

Okay, your issue is just as that one guy said. You're going into the 'tools'
tab inside of the Email window. to fix the issue just click outside of the
email, this will not close it. When you're outside of it at the top where it
shows 'file' 'edit' all that stuff, go to tools, options, spelling, then at
the bottom it will give you a down arrow. Click on that, and make sure it
shows it as 'english'. If it does click on it again and make SUPER sure, if
not then set it once. Then, instead of clicking 'ok', click apply. This will
completely fix the issue. If not, I'm clueless.

First, close all message composition windows. If you are composing one now,
save it as a draft. Now in the main window with the folder level display,
Tools, Options, Spelling. Under Language if English is chosen choose
Spanish, French or German. Then close the Tools, Options, Spelling window.
Open it again and choose English. Close the window. Now in your message
composition windows if you choose Tools, Spelling you will get an
interactive spell checking window.

If you write in dialects other than American Standard English then you may
be interested in either Outlook, a component of Office, or Windows Live Mail
(http://get.live.com).

Thank you very much Dave. That was exactly the same problem

I was having. Interestingly enough, English was already the default
language. I reselected it and closed the dialog box. After that I was able
to spell check in the already open email.

Thanks again.

If all steps are followed and it continues to give you the same message, try
clicking on a language other than the one selected, apply and try again. For
whatever reason, my language was showing English in the drop down box, and
everything was selected, however the moment 'apply' was clicked, it would
give me the same message as before "This language is no longer available for
spell checking". Once I tried setting the default language to French, and
applied changes, and then went back again and changed it back to English, it
worked like a charm. I hope this helps.

Go to: Tools>Options...this will open the Options window, select the
Spelling Tab, under the Language heading you will see a drop down box, click
it then select another language other than English, click on the Apply
button and then OK, that will close Options. Now reopen the Options go to
the Spelling tab and select the language you want the spell check in windows
mail to check. If its English select it then Apply, then OK button and your
done. Until you wish to spell check in one of the other three languages that
WM will spell check in.

I should have also said you can not do this from a New Message window the
one you use for composing and editing. Open Windows Mail only. Then you
can follow the directions I gave you. A faster way to get to the Spelling
tab in the Options dialog box is: Alt+T will open the tools context menu,
then type a "o" as in the word Opti"o"ns, the Options window/dialog box will
open and you should be able to locate the Spelling Tab and then follow the
directions given to set your spell check language.
Good Luck

Tools menu of the MAIN PAGE of Windows Mail>options>spelling tab>select
'always check spelling before sending'>apply.

Also:

In the language section below, change the spelling language to another
one, French>apply/ok.

Then change it back to English again>apply/ok

In Windows mail choose tools, options, spelling, and then language, the last
option on the page. Then the spelling works.

Thanks for that, I had to click on tools, then options then I clicked onto
spelling in the little box, I unticked the four boxes except one that reads
original text in a reply or forward and English was already there, it worked,
thanks heaps for your help.

Go to Main email Inbox screen. Click on Tools. Click on Options, then click
on Spelling tab. English is already highlighted but you have to click the
"Apply" button on the bottom of the page. THEN the spell checker will work.

What on earth are you on about?

This thread is regarding the spell check, you mention Fonts etc.

Please start a new thread and give a little more detail of what you are
trying to achieve?
Thanks.

In the main screen of Windows Mail, (not the compose screen), go to
Tools, Options, Spelling.
First select another language, click Apply. Then reselect English and click OK.

Try dropping your 'create mail' e-mail that you're attempting to spell check.
Then from Inbox-Windows Mail toolbar, click "tools", Then "options", Then
"spelling", and if the dialogue box next to "always check spelling before
sending" is unchecked, check it, then left click "apply". Hope this works for
you.
