Objection: For me, this is not a "little change". While answering and
editing a message, I do very often go up and down with cursor keys. Now
it goes up to the header fields, and what is worse, it changes the
sender account! So if I'm not very careful, there's a good chance that
the mail goes from the wrong sender account.

I try hard to use the home key instead ever since the new "feature"
came. But first, that is not the same, and second, it's not easy to
change behavior that you got used to for many years.

I would much appreciate to get the old behavior back.

FWIW,
Roman
