In FirstClass, I always type my messages using Canadian English spelling. The client is defaulted to en-US though, and never seems to save my preference in language. I checked the program's Preferences menu, but could not find any reference to choosing your default language. How can I set this permanently, so my spell check realizes I know how to spell in my language?

In FirstClass, when you start a Spell Check session, and it brings up the spelling dialog, you can choose to save the options there. It is a little tricky to set, but easy enough once it was discovered.
- Open a new message
- Type in a word in your language you want to have spelled correctly (in my case,
colour
) - Put a space, and type another word of gibberish (in my case,
asdfasdfasdf
) - Start the spell check
- Click the triangle by Options to expand it. Then choose the correct language, hit Save Options, then Done. Do not spell the word of gibberish correctly
Now, when you type a message using your language, it will use your language preference properly. Note that this is a client-side option, so if you log in on multiple computers, you'll need to change this on all of them.
