Bug Description

Spell checking in Postler requires you to highlight the word then right click. Can we please get the option just to right click on the highlighted word? It seems counter productive to have to highlight and then right click.

Currently we rely on WebKit for spell checking. I wrote a patch in the past but it was rejected due to cross-platform concerns.

Effectively we have two options here:
1. Override spell checking like Epiphany does¹ and work around the problem.
2. Use a Gtk.TextView for composing and implement our own spell checking.
