Hi,
I'm not aware of anything like that for Evolution. Evolution uses
enchant for spell checking, though I'm afraid it doesn't have anything
for punctuation, but I do not know it, I only think it.

Interesting. I'm not aware of it too, somehow. Evolution has some API
for creating plugins, then it has a similar API for creating modules,
which is similar to plugins, but newer and more tight to the internals.
If you mean to let extend (with modules) certain parts of Evolution,
then yes, it's possible to add (in most cases, though trying to extend
message composer in the way you are looking for, which involves also
WebKit2, is not that trivial). Nonetheless, the composer is already
extensible and modules can be written for it.
Bye,
Milan
