Confirmed using FizzillaCFM/2002110808 on 10.1.5. Maybe shift+return/enter
should do it?

My personal opinion is that the arrow-keys should move between address-field. 

That is IMHO very intuitive and the same way that mozilla-win32 does it. I'm not
sure what TAB and Shift-TAB does but I am quite sure that that works as well
under Win32.

taking all of varada's bugs.

In current builds:
Under Win2K, Tab/Shift-Tab does navigate among the address fields and the label 
(To/CC/BCC) fields.  With the Classic theme, there is no focus indication on the 
labels (bug 178637), but the focus is there.

Up/Down arrow navigation is not very useful; see bug 244512.

If Tab/Shift-Tab works OK under Mac OS, I suggest duping this to 244512.

No response from reporter; duping.
