You might not always want to move down 6 lines. Perhaps in the future
you will add a new header (using my_hdr) to certain messages. You might
want to consider the following instead:

set editor="vim -c ':0;/^$'"

which will search for and move to the first blank line. In an email
message that should be the first line after all the headers, no matter
how many header lines there are.
