I use Mozilla Thunderbird on Windows, Evolution on Linux boxes with 
spell checking built in.  I don't like Evolutions spell check as much as 
Thunderbird's since you have to right click on the word that is 
underlined, then click "check spelling" or some such nonsense. 
Thunderbird you can just right click on the misspelled word and it gives 
you a few suggestions and you can just click the correct one.  I also 
use Mutt when I don't feel like having a full blown GUI client running, 
I use vim as my text editor for mail, and I don't do any spell checking. 
  I believe that vim 7 has spell checking built in or something, but my 
distro hasn't released vim 7 yet.
