Change Spelling Dictionary from Menu

Change Spelling Dictionary from Menu

This Agent changes the NOTES.INI variable responsible for the spellchecker language (SPELL_LANG).

You have to set up a shared agent, which is called manually from the actions menu (run once (@Commands may be used)). Because I use this agent for several languages this agents exists several times in my mail database. As name I recommand something hierarchical (DictionarySet English - UK) so you can build your own menu for the dictionaries you will use.

As you can see I have set up agents for English (UK), English (USA), French, Italian, German (Standard) and German (Reform).
