How can I limit the spell checking in Mail to what I have typed only? OS 10.7.2 Mail 5.1.

I have just migrated from years of using PC and this step has so far been painless and fairly smooth.

Various sources including this forum have also been of help.

I have an issue with mail however that I have not been able to find the solution to.

I have OS 10.7.2 and Mail version 5.1.

When I am sending out replies to an email the spell checker not only checks the spelling of my own text but goes on to check the spelling of everything in that email which could be a long string, including the various urls.

How can I limit the spell checking in Mail to what I have typed only?

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.2)

It would still check the whole document including the original email I am replying to when I go to correct by taking the "Show Spelling and Grammer" option.

Really, I do not understand why this occurs there, I cannot reproduce.

Thank you for trying it is frustrating and does not make sense maybe some other related setting somewhere is causing it. I am new to Mac's so do not really know much.

I am trying to reproduce why it checks that part of a mail.
