I didn't know that can happen, but I have a proposal to give both ideas a 
common technical base that should be easy to implement: Add an interactive 
indicator.
Click on the field in the status bar to cycle through the states. No context 
menu. It's main purpose should still be to be an indicator.
Currently the status bar only indicates whether spell check is on or off.

The status bar could then look like this:

________________________________________________________
| Editing mode: HTML | Spell check: English | Column: 24 | Line: 12 |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Click on Editing mode, it switches to Text. Click on Spell check, it switches 
to the next installed dictionary.

BTW: I just found out that a Dictionary drop-down menu can be activated 
through the View menu. So no need for a new context menu. Nevertheless, 
I still think that KMail Editor's mostly empty status bar could be more used. 
;-)
