Yes.

This caught me as well not that long ago.  The Options menu referred to in the 
KMail Help is available in the composition window (and only in the 
composition menu as near as I can tell, although I imagine it is in a config 
file somewhere).

In my case, not only was automatic spellchecking turn off, but for some reason 
KMail also defaulted to composing all messages as HTML.  It took me some time 
to finally figure out how to turn that feature off (the same options menu in 
the composition window).
