Sure after all it's mutt, isn't it?

You need to set mutt's ispell variable to aspell. I use a macro to
switch from english to german.

## spell checker
set ispell="/usr/bin/aspell -c --mode=email --lang=en_GB"

# german aspell
macro compose I '<enter-command>set ispell="/usr/bin/aspell -c --mode=email 
--lang=de_DE"<enter><ispell><enter-command>set ispell="/usr/bin/aspell -c 
--mode=email --lang=en_GB"<enter>
