Microsoft answer:

"You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system"

"When you upgrade an earlier version of Office to a 2007 Office system, the
old spelling checker files are removed for the following
languages: .English .Spanish .German

These files are replaced with newer versions that are included in the 2007
Office system. The new files are incompatible with Outlook Express."

MS solution: "There are a variety of third-party free spell-checking
programs available on the Internet."

In other words too bad !

Work around:
The workarounds are to keep part of an older version of Office installed

or to use one of several 3rd party apps to add spell check in English to
Outlook Express.
