I don't think that it is a good idea for Scribus developers to spend time and effort in developing a direct EPub export for Scribus -- the effort of the developers could be better spent in expanding and improving the core functionality of Scribus.

However, often I will receive a relatively short E-Mail and rather than copy that to a LibreOffice document. I will directly copy it into the Story Editor of Scribus. But then, I run the risk of missing spelling errors (especially since I want to use Canadian English, and contributors often use US or British English, which has different spellings for many words).

Scribus already supports the dictionaries you talk about, since the last release, 1.4.2.
