Default Can OE be upgraded?

ToolsOptionsSpelling. Uncheck words in UPPERCASE.

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.

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.
