5.   Email

5.6   Is there a spell checker for my posts?

Many modern mail and news programs have a built-in spelling checker (including Turnpike, from version 4.00 onwards). Otherwise, if you use Windows software for mail and news, there is at least one checker that should work. This can be found at:

You will also need the English dictionary:

When spell-checking email, first highlight the section you want checked, otherwise you will lose the formatting of quoted text and waste your time flagging up spelling errors in quoted material.
