OK, for all you whiners out there...  ;->  This has been moved into cvs
(1.4.3!) (although for anon cvs, you'll have to wait a day or so).

It is implemented as a display preference, where you may choose to leave
the focus in the TO field, focus in the body (may end up placing the
cursor at the end of the body depending on your browser) or selecting
the entire body text.

So there.
