That's good to know! Any way to put the appropriate help files up online so that
we can all access them? Helps have the various :help commands point there in the
default browser.

I'll take a look and see what I can do, thanks!

One thing to keep in mind with the development of that: if you add an
attachment, you end up back in INSERT mode in the header somewhere (usually the
subject line). Try to tab to the body and you get stopped at attachments. Escape
to COMPOSE, hit i to get back in INSERT and you're still there. Stuck. Would be
nice to have a command in one of those modes to go directly to the body.

This one's pretty huge for me. I went to the extreme and installed MouseKeys on
the Windoze box they force me to use at work just so I can right click/Copy
email address without having to touch the damned tailed thing.

In the meanwhile, I found the solution! 
starting from NORMAL mode
i -> MESSAGE mode
i -> CARET mode
v -> VISUAL mode
<C-a><C-c>
ESC -> CARET mode
ESC -> NORMAL mode

Too bad that's not easily mapped ;)

One last thing unrelated to the above: (l)abel only works up to 5. I've actually
got every number mapped to a label and I use them all. Would love to get them
all back, though I realize I can PASS THROUGH in MESSAGE mode.

Thanks,

Walter
