How can I turn on a spellchecker so it is automatic every time I write an email?

I would like to add a spellcheck that will automatically create red lines under words that I have spelt wrong. When I go into "options">"check spelling" it never works even though I know I have spelt words wrong. "Spell check as you type" is in faded out writing with a tick next to it. The tick does not go when I click on it to turn to turn this setting on or off.

Please help!

Have you installed and selected a dictionary?

When you select Options|Check Spelling, a dialogue pops up. At bottom left it says: "Language". What appears in the box below?
