Outlook Spelling check in Subject line different from body text
There are a few options here: https://superuser.com/questions/169393/different-languages-in-subject-line-and-text-body-in-outlook-2003
The unicode answer worked for me on Windows 10 / Outlook 2016.
IainB1 - thanks for that. Good to know there's yet another bit of Micro$haft annoying behaviour that has been around for over a decade without a formal resolution. 🙂
However I think your own experience of the unicode thing means it's is a good bet that it's the root cause. I no longer have this issue (we have an external support company and I just lobbed it at them and can't actually recall what the outcome was!) and had forgotten about this ticket, but I checked where you said and my unicode setting was "UK English".
FWIW, I run Windows 10 Pro, local Outlook software and with our Office365 accounts being managed from our US-based head office.
So that Unicode setting is definitely a great place for people experiencing this annoying issue to check first. Many thanks for that.
