Microsoft recommends third party spell checkers, or moving to France. I’d say now is a good time to switch to a better email program like Thunderbird.

Here is a good fix: http://blogs.msdn.com/dgoldman/archive/2007/01/03/how-to-fix-the-outlook-express-spelling-checker-when-the-french-dictionary-is-the-only-dictionary.aspx

The MS Article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

While you are at that url, check out their shameless promotion of the lame ass Live.com search site:

“You can also use a search site to find spell-checking programs. For example, you can search for spell-checking programs at the following Web site: http://www.live.com”

Also, spell checking is not supported in the 64-bit version of Outlook Express.
