Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way any more.

I can't remember when the change was made, but I saw the patch in a
bug report several months ago.  I'm currently on 4.14.2.

When I either start a new message or reply to an existing one, the
composer window is created and my external editor is *immediately*
fork()ed.  :-(

My work flow used to be New Message -> enter recipients -> enter
subject -> tab into message area and hit any key.  Only then was my
editor started.  It's irritating that I have to switch back to the
composer window after my editor steals focus after starting a new
message.

OK, replying to a message is more convenient when the editor is
immediately started.  But NOT for new message.
