On the `F' comment: Not when (to-address) is specified.

One safe guard I use to avoid sending to author when (to-address) is
not set is to set "(setq message-generate-headers-first t )" so at

still in the composition buffer.
You (OP) seem to want the reverse effect, but maybe seeing the headers
while still in composition buffer will help you too.
