Note that this isn't 20.4 yet.  Since it's still in testing, it would
probably be nice if you said "the latest pretest", which won't confuse
people into thinking that emacs 20.4 has been released.

Any of the new Emacs 20 stuff.  Check the NEWS file.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to.

These questions should all probably be asked on gnu.emacs.help, since
they're general Emacs questions.

It seems to work fine for me if I just M-x ispell-message from the
buffer.  Does that work for you?

Oh.  Actually, I'm using the one which came with Ispell.  Try that
one, it's generally more compatible with a specific version.

Oh... you were trying to spellcheck a multibyte message?  I don't
think that can work.

You might consider downgrading to Emacs 20.3 until 20.4 is officially
released, unless you feel like debugging problems which might be
there.
