Spell Check on Reply or Forward

[Guest]

I'm using Outlook 2000 SR-1. and "Ignore oringinal message text in reply or forward" is checked. However, spell check checks the entire document including the original. I've tried unchecking and closing Outlook; then restarting and rechecking "Ignore original..." -- nothing seems to fix. Originally, it worked perfectly. Any ideas

Many thanks
James

I had the same problem until I was advised to turn off "Prefix each line
with..." Then it worked fine!

Thanks, but I don't have a "Prefix each line with..."
option (or I can't find it if I do).

I am using 2003, but I am sure 2000 had it as well.
The path in Outlook 2003 is: Tools>Options>Preferences tab and click the
Email Options button. Must be somewhat similar in 2000.

Right. It is there. But "Prefix each line with..." wasn't
selected. So I tried choosing that, then going back to
the original "Include and indent original message text".
Still having the same problem.

Hmmm...
For what it's worth here is what my email options box looks like:

Hopefully someone else here has some ideas, James
