Sorry Paul for sending it directly to your address. I didn't realize it until after I
send it. I meant to send it to the list for everyone to read. First time poster, what 
do
you expect :)

Whenever composing an e-mail, there is a JavaScript onLoad handler for the compose.php
file. What this does is as soon as the page has completed loading in the user's 
browser,
move the input cursor to the "To" field.

What you're describing sounds like the page is loading a little slower than your user's
habits of diving right in before the page loads. They manage to get a few characters
typed in right before the page has completed loading and then they're moved to another
field.

You can turn off JavaScripting all together from the Options -> Display Preferences, 
but
I don't think that's a very good alternative. You can always edit compose.php and 
search
for the exact JavaScript function the onLoad handler calls and comment out any field
with a ".focus()" statement at the end (this would probably be what I would do if I
really wanted to solve this problem).

Or, what I would tell my users, just wait a second longer for the page to completely
load   :)

Hope this helps.

Andre

and starts typing up there.  This makes it a pain to use the web client.
