I had this question after viewing <a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27211016/Outlook-2010-Spell-check-Ignore-orignial-message-text-in-reply-or-forward-not-working.html" rel="ugc">Outlook 2010 - Spell check - &quot;Ignore orignial message text in reply or forward&quot; not working</a>.<br />
<br />
Has anyone had issues with Outlook 2016 and this setting? &nbsp;I do not want to spell check replies and forwards and I do not want to use &quot;spell check as you type&quot; . &nbsp;So I have &quot;&nbsp;Always check spelling before sending&quot; AND &quot;Ignore original message text in replies and forwards&quot; both checked. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Still when I reply or forward a message, the original text is spell checked.<br />
