Try this.
On the toolbar, just above the open page of Outlook Express,where Reply,
Forward, Delete, Sort...are) all the way to the right there may be two
arrows (indicating additional tools) Click these arrows and a lengthy list
should appear. One of those is the "ABC spell checker".
At least, that is what happens with mine.
