[rt-users] UI Patch - Add whitespace at top of MessageBox if it's a reply/comment

[Adam Tingle]

Hi rt-users,

Here's a quick patch I made to add some whitespace to the top of the message
when replying to a message. It makes it easier to just start typing if you
have FCKeditor set to StartupFocus.

BTW, I caught on that making changes in
local/html/NoAuth/RichText/FCKeditor/fckconfig.js doesn't work; where's the
best place to override the FCKeditor configuration to enable the option
FCKConfig.StartupFocus  = true; ? Even better, how about making this the
default option, as no other fields seem to get the focus anyway.
