The spelling check works OK when posting at the top but doesn't work at all
when posting at the bottom. Any ideas please? (I don't want to get into
the top versus bottom posting arena.)

Thanks

Don't really know but just a thought on my part, have you got it set to
check included quotes.

Try unchecking The Original Text In A Reply and see if that works. (Just a
thought).

If you intersperse your reply with the original message, it won't get
spell checked unless you remove the check mark in Tools, Options,
Spelling, Ignore Original Text. With that option selected, it will only
spell check text before or after the entire original text. (Note: if
you save a message to the Outbox or Drafts and then open it again, OE
has lost track of what was original text and will spell check the whole
message.)

If you are using OE-QuoteFix, all your text gets treated as if it were
interspersed with the original, so the above applies or you need to
highlight the desired text and do a manual spell check.

Do you have a Spelling Tab???

Do you see: When checking spelling, always ignore?

And then a check box for: The original text in a Reply or Forward?
