   I'm pleased that I have not wasted too much of your time Sir.   
   I've actually got TinySpell to work on Outlook Express Classic. It's not   
   slick but it does seem to work. It might be worth you looking at Outlook   
   Express Classic out of interest.   
   The main reason I was playing around is a possible upgrade to Windows 7   
   which I really do not want to do as I'm quite happy using XP.   
   Seems that OEClassic works on W7.
