If it's anything like Outlook Express

If it's anything like Outlook Express, you need to have MS Word installed to enable that feature. Or you could just use something like Mozilla Thunderbird that has it standard, no additional action required beyond installing Thunderbird.

Yes, it's an option in the Tools menu when writing an email.

Unlike Outlook Express, Windows Mail does not rely on Microsoft Office's dictionary, including a licensed copy of the American Heritage dictionary instead.

Hope this helps,
John
