User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: version 1.5 (20051025)

action:
reply to message
with focus on message, type cmd-A or choose "select all" from edit menu.
hit arrow key

hitting the left or up arrows while all text is selected should move the insertion cursor to the beginning of the message. hitting the down or right arrow keys should take it to the end of the message. instead, the insertion cursor ends up at the end of the message in all instances. there are slight differences depending on which key is hit:

left arrow moves insertion cursor to the end of the last line of message, i.e. before sig separator.
up arrow moves insertion cursor to line below the last line of message, but above the sig separator.
right arrow moves insertion cursor between the two hyphens of the sig separator (right in the middle of the "--")
down arrow moves insertion cursor to very end of sig.
