Microsoft seems to have hidden the UK English dictionary in Windows Live
Mail.
After Googling around for info I decided to automate the installation
and have written a small program to so.

If you want to try it out get it here:

DOH! I wish I'd seen your article first, it would have saved me some time!
Why don't Microsoft do the decent thing and fix it properly ?

Yep, I agree. Wondering why this useful feature is kept hidden.

Perhaps someone can write a program that'll add additional spell checkers
(fetching the Proofing DLLs from Office 2003 CD).
