The file ~/.kde/share/config/sonnetrc was not present in my initial install of
KDE 4.5.1 (Kubuntu 10.10, amd64); KMail version is 1.13.5.  It only appeared
after I installed an additional language and noticed that no language was set
in "System Settings"->"Locale" by default at all.  After I set that, the file
was there and the workaround as described by Fabian above worked.

Before then: 
"Automatic spell checking enabled by default" is ticked correctly in
"Settings"->"Spellchecker..." and in "Options" in Kontact/KMail, but has no
effect on new mail compositions, i.e. for new mail compositions spell checking
is always off.  Turning this setting off and then on again in
"Settings"->"Spellchecker..." enables automatic spell checking not immediately
but after a few more keystrokes in the mail body - but only for the currently
composed E-mail.  Doing the same thing with the redundant (well - one of the
two is redundant IMHO) setting under "Options" has no effect at all.

Automatic spell checking worked as expected (and persistently across several
invocations) in Kate, also before the global language setting.
