SYMPTOMS
If you change the path for your custom dictionary in the Registry to be either a UNC path or a local drive path (other than the default Windows NT subdirectory), when you start Mail, and then choose Spelling from the Edit menu after you compose a new message, your changes are lost and Mail changes the path back to your Windows NT default directory.

According to the Windows NT Resource Kit, Registry Entries for Microsoft Mail, you can change the path for your custom dictionary, by changing the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Mail\MS Proofing Tools. This does not work.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server. This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.5.
