Anyone know of a good, free spellchecker program that will run from outlook
express, with American and British spelling options?

Well, there are bunches out there. I used to use one that made me giddy
with joy, written for Win3. It's still available for download but not
under any more development.

Right now I'm working with TinySpell. It's a really nice checker, but
doesn't turn me on. I have been fooling around with an old version of
FreeSpell as well, again no click. I tried to get the newest version
and it won't install. They get the job done though.

I found TinySpell sounded it warnings too often and if I turned it
off it still jumped in when it was most unexepcted!

Sure, you can hotkey TinySpell on and off but while I switch
swiftly between apps it's all a bit too much to keep doing for
lil' ole me!

The thing I use most is a visual basic script I came across which
spellchecks any text on the clipboard by using Word's
spellchecker. I think (???) it is this one:

I made a hotkey for it to make it even easier to use.
