The compose menu is the screen that shows up when you tell mutt to 
send an email, just after you finish editing that email.

The "i" key is the one on the US qwerty keyboard right between the "u" 
and "o" keys, above and slightly to the left of the "k" key. ;)

The ispell setting in mutt is for being able to trigger ispell to 
spell check your email before you send it. Mutt does not, however, 
force you to check your messages, it just makes it convenient for you 
to check them if you desire. By default, the key to do that is the "i" 
key (you can, of course, change what key triggers ispell).

But, let's phrase this another way: what were you *expecting* the 
ispell setting in mutt to do?
