If you use Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html), it has one built in.  It will underline the misspelled words in red.  You just right-click on them and it will pull up a list of recommendations.

If you use Google Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome), it has one built in.  It will underline the misspelled words in red.  You just right-click on them and it will pull up a list of recommendations.

You can type your response in a word processing software, like Microsoft Word and use those.  Word, for example, even has a grammar check in case you spelled a word correctly, but used it incorrectly.

Just a few recommendations.

 Safari also has one built in to it. You can download a version for windows.

CAP Talk even has one built right in.

(Hint: It's right next to the 'Post' and 'Preview' buttons)

Which does not work in Internet Exploiter/Exploder unless you use Quick Reply.  And more than likely the people who would use it are also using IE.

But keep in mind that a spelling checker and most grammar checkers will not differentiate between correctly spelled but misused words. Examples: its and it's; their, there, they're; were, where, ware, wear, we're; and lastly for now, your and you're.
