On most systems, your arrows keys will move the cursor around the screen as expected. In addition, the following movement keys are always available in the composition screen:
The <Ctrl>U key sequence is used for two different things in the midst of composing a message. Its normal meaning is ``paste''. That is, it will paste in the line or lines that you last cut with the <Ctrl>K. However, immediately following a paragraph justification (<Ctrl>J), the <Ctrl>U key temporarily changes into ``unjustify''. If the paragraph justification went bad (changed some tabs, justified many paragraphs into one, etc.) you'll see it right away and be able to unjustify. After a few keystrokes, <Ctrl>U reverts back to ``paste''. It sounds confusing, but you probably won't have a problem with it once you try it.
This feature searches for a word in a message or goes to the first/last line.
