I think most mail client software is these days. As soon as the cursor by default appears at the top instead of at the bottom, your average user isn't gong to move it.

which is horrid in that respect

Herald webmail is special. It puts the cursor at the top when replying, but at the bottom below the sig when composing a new message.

Actually I'm wrong. It's bottom every time, but below the sig. I'm so used to pressing page up when emailing that I'd forgotten it put the cursor at the bottom!
