You have sent a message to the group of volunteers who help users of
OpenOffice.org, a free office suite that competes with Microsoft Office. As
such we have nothing to do with e-mail. You need to consult the support
group for whichever e-mail program you are using. A company called Isota
sells a spell check program for Outlook Express, which is what you appear to
be using..
However, that being said, you can compose your email message with
OpenOffice.org writer, spell check it with the writer spell check, then FILE
-> SEND which gives you the choices:
1. DOCUMENT AS EMAIL which will generate an outgoing email with your
document as an attachment,
2. EMAIL AS OPENDOCUMENT TEXT,
3. EMAIL AS MICROSOFT WORD which attaches your composition to an outgoing
Word.DOC,
4. EMAIL AS PDF which will attach your composition to an outgoing email as
a .PDF file.

This is true for new messages. Unfortunately it's rather cumbersome for
replies: you'd have to copy/paste the original into Writer, enter your reply
and then use Writer's EMAIL option, possibly re-typing the entire to: and
cc: lists. Addresses on any bcc: list would get lost as you wouldn't have
seen them so wouldn't know to re-enter them.
I overlooked a simpler solution:
1. Use the mail program to do Reply or Reply All. The result will be a
properly addressed message containing the text of conversation to date.
2. *Cut* the above mentioned text from the e-mail message and paste it into
a new Writer document. The Reply e-mail will now be properly addressed but
will contain no text.
3. Compose your reply using Writer, interleaving as appropriate.
4. Copy (or cut) the Writer text and paste it into the (now blank) e-mail.
5. Use the e-mail program's Send function to send the message.
More cumbersome than having a spell checker within the e-mail program but a
lot less cumbersome than my original thought.
Sorry.
How about easier. Compose your message in oo.o. Cut or copy the text.
Go to your mail program and hit reply. Paste in the appropriate location.
