Since Marck's folder template lectures, I have switched to Address Book
templates.  But back when I was "doing it wrong" I did notice what you
describe.  Folder templates that set the To: field for new messages
would keep the focus on To: regardless of %Cursor setting.

I suspect this is for protection from what Marck points out in his
lecture - you are forced to at least look at the To: field before
continuing, giving you a chance to avoid sending private mail publicly.

Truth be told, Marck's arguments are pretty good for not using folder
templates. I'm impressed that he actually posted folder template advice
in this thread! It's not often a moderator who so strongly believes in
something will post advice on how to implement functionality
antithetical to his argument. A sign of a healthy ego, IMO.
