SYMPTOMS
========
The Outlook client appears to use the same spell checking engine and dictionary
as the Exchange client, but Outlook returns more suggestions on some words when
a spell check is performed.
CAUSE
=====
The calling executable (Exchng32.exe or Outlook.exe) employs an enhanced
function call to the spelling library. (SCCSUGGEST, which both do and
SCCSUGGESTMORE, which Outlook does).
When a spell check is run, the application makes a SCCSUGGEST call to the
spelling DLL, this is the initial suggestion of correct words (top replacement
possibilities). After a specified amount of idle time, the application makes a
SCCSUGGESTMORE call; this brings up the second set of suggestions. On a fast
computer, it all seems to happen at the same time, on a slow computer, you see a
pause before then the additional words are suggested. Outlook and Word use the
SCCSUGGESTMORE call, Exchange does not.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, use Word as the E-mail editor (if you have Office
97 installed, this should be an option) or upgrade to Outlook.
STATUS
======
MORE INFORMATION
================
Installing Office 97 or copying the same Mssp2_en.lex and Mssp232.dll from
Outlook does not change this behavior. The Exchange Client still returns the
same limited set of suggestions.
