Is there a spell check within OE?

If so, how do I activate it as I can see “Spelling” in the top row, but it's permanently greyed out.

    Maybe you have to select/highlight the text first before you can spellcheck it?

    Thunderbird is to Outlook what Firefox is to Internet Explorer.

    It's Mozilla's version of a mail client. Not looking too shabby either.
