Vista spell check not working

If you can't find Options on the Tools menu item, then you're not
in the main Windows Mail screen.

Good tips, but trying one step at the time, all I had to do was check "spell
check before sending". (Vista Home Premium)

On your e-mail, go to TOOLS, OPTIONS, then SPELLING.
Under "When checking spelling, always ignore".
Uncheck "The origanal text in a reply or forward"
Then hit "APPLY".
That worked for me and I hope it works for you!
Good luck!!

We had the same problem, but finally figured it out this morning. When you
go to the spelling tab to select english, be sure to click on "apply" before
clicking on "ok." Hope this works for you!

tried the "send" button way but no help...don't know where the language
"options" are, they do not appear under "tools", just the word "spelling"

If Options does not appear under Tools, then you are in the wrong screen.
Go to the main Windows Mail screen, not the message compose screen.

(Side note: I really don't understand why people are having so much difficulty
finding this.)

Hi it has nothing to do with language. Go to Start, go to Windows mail,
select it, go to tools, go to options, select the spelling tab, check
spelling, hit OK. That should do it.
