Actually the tab key is the standard key to move the focus between=20
different input fields (and other GUI elements like checkboxes,=20
buttons, etc.). Therefore KMail's behaviour is correct. OTOH=20
Konqueror's behaviour is also correct because it mimics the shells=20
auto-completion.
I doubt that this 'inconsistency' will ever be removed because it's=20
caused by the collision of two widely accepted standard behaviours for=20
the tab key.

BTW, Michael's reply is wrong because the behaviour of the tab key is=20
not configurable. It's just the auto-completion mode which is=20
configurable. But this doesn't help you.
