I think it's a sylpheed2 bug, because if I understand gtkspell correct is  
that if backend change and it won't change gtkspell. The API of gtkspell  
hasn't change for about five years. The gtkspell has dropped aspell  
support and use enchant instead. The sylpheed2 should add aspell stuff in  
its configure if it uses direct to aspell function.

I have found a patch for sylpheed2 to use enchant instead in case if you  
want it.
