Has mutt got something that can be added to a .muttrc file which positions 
the cursor in a reply automatically for bottom posting?  With bottom 
posting what has me concerned is did I hit the downarrow key enough to get 
to the correct position for writing and it would be nice not to have to do 
that any more.
