Spell checking original text

[Darren]

Within Tools, Options, Spelling, I have checked the box "Ignore original
message text in Reply of Forward". Despite this, when I click send and
SpellChecker does its stuff, it continues to deal with the original email. Is
there another setting that I need to invoke to stop it from worrying about
the original email text.

In replies do you have the original message prefixed with a character
(typically '>')? If so, spell checking will check the original message, too.

I don't. However, I just discovered that Word 2003 is my email editor. I
wonder if the spell checking settings in Word (which would cover the entire
document including the original text) are taking charge?

Only if you use the option to add a prefix character. if you use the default
of no character, it won't spell check the original.
