if you can control the MUA, and if you are in the habit of entering the
e-mail address ahead of time, yes, it makes a whole lot sense and is a
value add for any e-mail client developer. but if you need to operate
from the outside or build one solution that works for most clients, then
in background is the way to go.
personally, I'm not a big fan of putting in the address first because I
use speech recognition and, on more than one occasion, have had a
misrecognition trigger sending a message. fortunately, they were not
drafts that were to be deleted before sending. in any case, once burned
forever cautious.

Speech recognition in use. Incorrect endings, words, and case is
