The information in this article applies to:
If you use the spelling checker to reply to an e-mail message when using the Internet Mail Enhancement Patch for Microsoft Outlook 97 (IMEP) and you have Reply Ticking selected, the spelling check will include the original message text even if you select the option "Ignore original message text in reply or forward."
If you do not want the spelling check to include the text of the original message, do not turn on Reply Ticking.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Internet Mail Enhancement Patch for Microsoft Outlook 97 (IMEP). We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
The Internet Mail service, provided by IMEP, allows you to mark original text in an e-mail reply with a special character. This character precedes each line of original text and is usually a greater than sign, a colon, or a vertical line (>, :, |). Reply Ticking, or Ticks is the name commonly used for this reply convention. The Internet Mail service design allows you to turn on Reply Ticking in e-mail messages.
Follow these steps to turn on Reply Ticking for e-mail messages:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Internet E-mail tab.
NOTE: If you do not have an Internet E-mail tab, you did not install
the Internet Mail service from the Internet Mail Enhancement Pack. The
Internet Mail Enhancement Pack is available on the Microsoft Internet
