I can't run spell check on my OutlookExpress 6.0.2900
anymore because the only choice for language seems to
be French (France). If I were trying to use OE to post
in French I would certainly need spelling help as I don't
speak, read or write French. But I'm just trying to use
my native language here.

Any ideas on how to get it back to English (US)?
I could even live with Engish (UK) if I had to.
