Sounds like a Group Policy setting.

EDIT - Okay I just had a look-see. Maybe check Group Policy under:

User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 > Tools | Options > Spelling

It's just one computer, kinda funky.

Just noticed it might be under:

User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 > Mail Format > Message Format

However it does seem strange that it's only one computer affected. Maybe something got changed in the Local Group Policy?

Does spell-check in Word work or is it broken as well?

I forget where the option is since I'm not around any machines with Outlook 2003, but make sure that you have Word setup as the default editor for e-mails in Outlook. Tools > Options > Mail Format Tab if I remember correct. It's probably unchecked, which is why the Word as spell checker is greyed out.
