Cursor Insertion for New Message Composition

#2100

When composing a new message (and not simply replying to message), is there a setting that allows the default cursor insertion point to be the To field in lieu of the [default] Body field?

    The default should already be the To header for new messages. Do you have the focus in the body?

    In any case, MmComposerInitialFocus might be useful.

    Ahh:

    $ defaults read com.freron.MailMate MmComposerInitialFocus
alwaysTextView

    I must've changed that a long time ago.

    What's the default so I can [re-]write it via the command line?

    Oh.

    Just delete the preference, no?

    $ defaults delete com.freron.MailMate MmComposerInitialFocus

    That is correct.
