There's no way to default to bottom-posting at the moment, however 
Geary will do so on a per-message basis if you highlight the text you 
want to reply to before clicking the reply button - the selected text 
will be quoted in the new message and the cursor will be placed below 
it.

There's a few bugs open about this already - Bug 731181[0] and somewhat 
relatedly Bug 751422[1].

You may need to install a supported spell checker. Geary uses WebKitGTK 
for composing, which in turn uses Libenchant[3] to access a spell 
checker. So make sure you have one of Aspell/Ispell/Myspell or 
something else installed along with the supported dictionaries. 
Currently Geary only supports spell checking in the default desktop 
language, but the next release will support multiple, user-selectable 
languages.

I'm glad you're otherwise enjoying using Geary!
