Confirmed.  This is a problem on all Platforms I think.  Tested with Mozilla
trunk builds on NT4 and MacOS9.  It is not protocol dependent. THe message pane
gets focus first and then focus is moved to the addressfield.  If you are typing
before the focus shifts it will drop your characters into the message area.

We need to lock all the text field and the message body until the window is ready...

See also bug 62452.  That bug is nsbeta1+ and I think it has a better solution 
(although I'm not familiar with the code).
