The attached patch fixes the missing spell checking support in Sylpheed.

Sylpheed tries to use the gtkspell wrapper, but instead of using the 
gtkspell API, Sylpheed mistakenly calls aspell directly to get info on
the dictionary to use. There are a few ways this could be fixed. I think
the "best way" would be patching the crap out of Sylpheed to force it to
use gtkspell/enchant. --I saw this mentioned on the fedora devel list:

The other, far less invasive,  answer is just let Sylpheed link against
aspell directly for it's dictionary calls.
