I have noticed that even though I have a check in the setting block to ignore the original message when spell checking a reply to an email message my system is still checking the entire message in a reply or forward. Am I missing a setting or is this normal. I thought by checking the box to say ignore the original it would do that.
Thanks

Hi Mike, Thank you for your post, its good to see you on the forum, in answer to your question try this:

From the main Microsoft Outlook window, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling tab.
Select the options you want.
The following spelling checker options that you set in Outlook apply to both Outlook and Microsoft Word editors:

Always check spelling before sending.
Ignore original message text in reply or forward.

If you have checked the box to ignore original message as you say you have, you are right in saying that it should ignore the original, I cannot see a reason for the spell check coming up, perhaps try it again and see if it makes any difference. Good luck, Best regards Pete
