Windows Live Mail with English UK Spell Checking

[LesD]

Anyone using Windows Live Mail (WLM) and putting up with the spell checker using USA English well now you don't have to: 

With my WLM I have just tried this:
I coloured the centre in the time honoured fashion with my favourite colour. This now passes the spell checker.
I colored the center in the time honored fashion with my favorite color. This now fails the spell checker where I have changed the text colour to red.

The method to use to get WLM to spell check with UK English is here:

I did the changes in %programfiles% not %userprofile% after making the folder %programfiles%\Windows Live\Mail\Proof\prf0809\1
and then in WLM at Tools - Options -Spelling I set UK English as the default.

Great tip, Les.

This will come in very handy, no doubt, as WLM is getting more and more popular.
