I am also annoyed by the way the arrow keys work. I have resorted to using
the mouse fpr seting the cursor, but I would prefer to be able to use the
keyboard. However, that seems to be more of a gtk problem than a Balsa one,
or am I wrong?

Reading messages I also noticed that URL hotspots don't work as expected as
of a few CVS versions back. The real hotspot is several screen lines above
the visible URL. This does not happen in HTML emails because URLs are
handled by gtkhtml there.
