Request to MVPs for foreing Language spell-checking in Windows Mail

H

Since simple users can't write bug-reports or write emails directly to MS
(do they?)... I wonder if MVPs could do something to help foreign user
asking Languages implementation in Windows Mail (yeah, I know now exists
WLM) to MS.

Since it would be a big work (that should have done before!) for MS to build
and distribute all missing spell-cheking dictionary originally not included
in Vista (and SP1) I thought to another simpler solution: ask for a unique
hotifx for Windows Mail to simply add the MSOffice localized dictionary
support. I know WM can't use such dictionary for now, but why not a hotfix
patch to enable this? It would (FINALLY) solve the dicontent about this
important gap for all foreign users (not Ger, Fra, Spa, Eng ;))...

1 single hotfix for Windows Mail to add support for MSOffice (2003 and pre)
dictionary and everybody will be pleased.
Can you please, MVPs address this request for all of us?

No more fixes for Windows Mail will be released since is a dead product.
Going forward, you will need to transition to Windows Live Mail.

No, we can't. We tried and at first they said it would happen then later
they told us it wouldn't. All they care about is Windows Live Mail, not
Windows Mail or Outlook Express.

I see, even if a "simple" hotfix for Windows Mail would have solved the
problems :(
And thank you for the effort (I wan to belive ;))!

I hope at least WLM will REPLACE WM completely on the HD, one day. It's such
a nonsense to have both, or to be exact to leave the aborted WM then...

I did not mean to imply that no more security fixes would be forthcoming.
But there will be no fixes for usability bugs, nor will there be any
improvements or new releases for Windows Mail.

Except a totally useless dictionary (!!) update to add words like "Obama",
"Klum" etc. (rolleyes)
