I have recently reached the conclusion that it is entirely useless and
without beneficial function of any sort for an email client spell checker to
flag as misspelled:
1.) Anything added to the body by a signature (check it when the sig is
changed, sure; everytime it's used, NOT);
2.) The display name and/or email address of any specified recipient, that
may [and inevitably will] occur within the body;
(Hmm, as I think of it, in reality, what's the point of ever spell checking
any 'word' with an embedded '@'? It's never going to be in the dictionary,
and 999,999 times out of 1M, it's going to be an email.)
I was looking into writing an AddIn to end the maddness, but I don't see any
spell-checker-related object interfaces at all in OOM. Is this end of
Outlook extensible at all/did I miss something? Alternatively, are there
any third-party solutions that aren't quite so brain-dead?
TIA,
