Because this new (mis-)behaviour of my language choice changing behind my back has started bugging me I decided to write an extension that will remember the last used dictionary for spell check when composing mail. I don't know if it will work for all the cases mentioned in this thread but for me it works:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/last-dictionary-for-mail/

It is compatible with SM 2.35 and higher.

I made sure this extension co-operates well with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/seamonkey/addon/dictionary-for-recipient/ - if you are using both then the dictionary for recipient takes precedence if it's defined in the address book.

As far as I can see there's a lot of mess in the native SM and TB code regarding spell check and there are certain cases where selecting dictionary using the Spell button does not really work - and the dictionary for recipient extension may also fail. I haven't checked if the same bugs appear in TB but it looks like they are caused by the over-complicated implementation of recycled (semi-closed/hidden) mail compose windows.
