I think that ispell -l is what you are looking for.  It behaves like
the spells that I've used in the past and integrates nicely with pine.
I just created a little script called spell:

#!/bin/sh
ispell -l $@

That sort of thing, I am sure that it was more complicated, but pine, if
I recall, and the like programs just want words on stdin and they output
misspelled words on stdout...
