You need to start the macro with a :, because the macro keystrokes
are interpreted (almost) exactly like you, the user typed them. So
in the compose menu, when the user presses "s", this is the key for
editing the subject line...
I think you also don't need the : in front of the <ispell> function
call.

Right, because the ! escape doesn't put the current temporary file
anywhere, it's just a generic shell command. The %s is not expanded,
I think.
I don't know if ispell supports getting the text from STDIN, but if
it does you can use | to pipe the current text into it instead, I
guess. But you'd probably be better off using the first kind of
macro anyway.
Hope this helps,
