new Outlook - change mail spell checker language?

Hi,

I regularly send some emails in English and some in my native language - as most European business people do. In Outlook one language is always set as default spell checker language, but in the old Outlook I could always override this by setting spell checker individually for each message. It took some three clicks, but it was possible. In the new Outlook this option is gone (at least I could not find it) - only thing you can do now is to change default editor spell checking language! This is extremely unfortunate and a huge step back. Please return the option to switch spell checker language when composing the new message. Or even better make it more accessible than in the old Outlook.

    I seriously don't understand why the editor is disable for me... It is there but greyed...

    Microsoft, why did you have to mess (again) with one of your software?

    Thanks. To add: if the editor button is greyed out in the desktop version, gotta do it first in the web version for some reason.
