Actually the way to be placed at the first line is also the auto commands in
vim. I get a variable number of headers depending upon replies, hooks, etc.
So I use these commands snipped from Sven's .vimrc:
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead mutt* :normal 1G}j
Which will move you to the beginning of the body. Add i to the end and you
will be placed in insert mode (not tested)
