English.

Click the Tools menu and choose Options...
Click the Spelling tab
From the Language drop-down, select English (default choice)

Click to expand...
Click on Tools, then Options, then Spelling. Click on the triangle
to the right of English, then another language, then Apply, then the
triangle again, then English, then Apply, then OK

Windows Mail comes with the language partly, but not fully, set
to English.

I tried using vista articles.com and it didn't fix it for me. I went back
into incoming e-mail went to TOOLS - OPTIONS - SPELLING. Make sure that
Always check spelling before sending is checked off. Hit apply and your good
to go.
 
What a crazy way to fix the problem. You would think the powers that be at MS
would have made sure it was working properly before they released the program.
 
There hasn't been a program released yet that is 100% perfect.
As far as bugs go, at least this one has a rather easy workaround.
 
Did not fix the problem but got a request to purchase a program I was not
familiar with.
