same goes for using menu-basec c&p, it doesn't work either. I raised  
this issue half a year ago, but I don't know why the address gets  
selected at all, I can't find any code doing this in sendmsg-window.c,  
all I have is a small private patch to focus the textarea in all  
situations, see attachment.
