aww.  That takes all the fun out of it.

Actually, I saw the mail-setup-hook in the docs for the mail function:

mail:
Edit a message to be sent.  Argument means resume editing (don't erase).
Returns with message buffer selected; value t if message freshly initialized.
While editing message, type C-c C-c to send the message and exit.
..[about 20 lines deleted]...
If mail-setup-hook is bound, its value is called with no arguments
after the message is initialized.  It can add more default fields.
[and more stuff...]

it doesn't mention mail-position-on-field
