This is 'normal' for TB!. I guess they are assuming that since you're
creating a new message that you'll need to first sort out who the
message is being sent to.
I do agree, however, that if you invoke a new message from the address
book or have an address to be used in the templates, then there is no
need to force the cursor to the To: field all the time.

This is happening because the first two lines in your template should
be at the bottom and %Cursor should be at the top.

The Bat! will not move you from folder to folder. Perhaps they should
support this as an option. I like this in Agent where it will move to
another newsgroup containing messages when you are finished with one.

I have two suggestions.
Why add the cookie to the bottom of the list. It's easier to add it to
the top. Place the cursor at the first message, hit enter and insert
the new cookie in the line above. :)
You may find it easier also to use an external cookie file and then
use your favorite text editor to manage the cookies. Just remember
that each cookie is separated by a 'return'.

I don't use PGP so can't help you there. :)

You may check there for mine.
