The only problem is that if you always move to the beginning of the
text on the first press, then C-a might move right. And that is very
strange in left-to-right languages.
Gnus has dwimish C-a in message-mode: It goes to the beginning of the
header text, or to the beginning of the line, when in a message header.
The Gnus behavior is also to move right in some circumstances. It's
strange.
