Hi,
I asked the same question on the mutt user mailing list and this is the
answer they gave me for .muttrc:


Ispell german and english dictionary
macro compose I '<enter-command>set ispell="/usr/bin/ispell -x -d deutsch"<enter><ispell><enter-command>set ispell="/usr/bin/ispell"<enter>'

Be sure to set the default dictionary to english or american with:

update-ispell-dictionary

Actually I am using spellchecker within .muttrc like this:

set ispell = /usr/lib/mutt/mailspell
