Editing the "UserDictionary.lex" file is now a simple matter in Windows Mail
under VISTA. This is the text file where you can add new words in your
emails to the dictionary file inside WM. I have an icon on my Desktop that
opens this file directly. The path to the file is:

Desktop/(user's name)/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Mail

WordPad opens the file for you to check the words you have added. You can
change, add or delete entries, then SAVE the file as it is.

Since I use many unconventional English forms, it's a wonderful access
point, because the spellchecker in WM no longer allows direct access to the
file as the spellchecker in Outlook Express did.

For sure a most serious shortcoming!
Just horrible to have my legal terminology in half a dozen user
dictionaries ...
