Right on schedule... the provided spell checker takes a nose dive.
I predict that soon it may be removed again.
Fear not my tech friends. Use the Foamer method.
Open your Outlook Express then open a new e-mail. Close Outlook Express keeping the open e-mail available. Type the reply to a forum in the open e-mail. Spell check it when done. Then copy and past the contents to the thread message window.
NOTE:You can keep Outlook Express open if you wish. I just find that the connection on the internet is more stable when Outlook Express is closed.
