I want to hit 'c' or 'r' and immediately begin typing, instead of navigate around the buffer and dodge quoted text and a hundred signatures.

To set the editor for sup, just edit the :editor: line in
.sup/config.yaml.

vim has the same +N option but for email editing in sup I prefer 
'+/^\s*\n'  which sets the initial cursor position to the first blank
line (i.e. following the email headers).
