I like the idea of putting rely focus at the top.
fyi, yahoo reply does just that and they give a couple line to start. So I
know it can be done.
Just a little snipet from the reply page but I don't know if it means
anything:
<script>
function OnLoad()
{
document.Compose.Body.focus();
document.Compose.ATT.value = "";
}
</script>
