ToolsOptionsSpelling. Uncheck words in UPPERCASE.

It flags names as errors, whether the name starts with a capital or is all
caps, regardless of whether the box is checked or not. It also ignores the
box that tells it to ignore previous text on a reply.

But thanks to all for your responses.

I don't know which checker Bruce. I just enable the check and preferences
from the OE ToolsOptions. The biggest deficiency for me is its inability
to
recognize and ignore proper nouns. Word will not insert the red or green
squiggly lines under the same names that OE flags as errors. It also
flags
errors in previous text on a reply even though I've checked the box that
says to ignore them.

It's not the end of the world if I can't upgrade.

Just out of curiosity, if they discontinued development of OE and WinMail
three years ago, what do they provide as a mail program these days?

There is no newer version of Outlook Express. All development of OE and
WinMail (Vista) was discontinued in June, 2006.

Which "very deficient spell checker" are you using? Outlook Express
never
had one of its own and relied on the Word spell checker or a third
party
app.

I have XP, IE8 (which I don't use) and OE6. Can the latter be upgraded,
my
specific desire is to improve the very deficient spell checker?
