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,
Mark McGinty
 
There's nothing in the OOM for spell checking, if you use WordMail or
Outlook 2007 you have access to whatever is there in the Word object model
from Inspector.WordEditor, which is a Word.Document object.
