Stop spellchecking email addresses

I have Outlook 2003 set to automatically check spelling in my messages when I press "send". I want to keep this feature enabled.
The problem is that often my email messages contain email addresses (ie, when I'm emailing someone to give them someone else's contact address), and every single time the Outlook spellchecker highlights these email addresses as suspect words.
Is it possible to train the Outlook spellechecker so that it ignores email addresses?

That's interesting. Email addresses are not spell checked in my Outlook. I'm using HTML format, though. What format are your outgoing message?

Jet, That's why... Because of the format of an email addy, the Dictionary is picking up the email addy as a misspelled word. Other than adding all those email addresses into your Custom Dictionary, I don't see a way around this.
