spell check in windows mail

For some reason it insists on American English as opposed to UK English.
I have Word 2007 and this uses the UK English dictionary.
How can I stop Windows Mail from trying to remove my 'U's and turning my
'S's into 'Z's (etc)?

I went into options/spelling and the only languages I see listed are
English, French, German and Spanish.
How can I further define English?

You need to copy some edited files to the Live Mail proof folder.
This program will install the UK dictionary into Windows Live Mail.

It's a shame that MS has never caught on to problems their naming
conventions have caused: Internet Explorer-Windows Explorer, Outlook-Outlook
Express, Windows Mail-Windows Live Mail.

I don't believe the OP is using Live Mail, just Mail.

Yes, I noticed that and specified Live Mail.
Oh well, if the op is still on Mail now's the time to upgrade!

By using a proper program like Thunderbird. Get it at
http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird. It will import everything from
Windows Fail when you install it if you so choose.

Why? You're implying that there's something wrong with Windows Mail.

No I'm not implying there's anything wrong with Windows Mail.
If the OP changed to Windows Live Mail then he would have a UK spell checker, something he
doesn't have with Windows Mail.
To me, being in the UK and needing a UK dictionary, that is an upgrade.
