Do you happen to know about such MUAs?  mail-user-agent currently
supports just 4 MUAs: do any of them work like above?

We could bite the bullet and make this operation a property of
mail-user-agent, like 'composefunc' we already have (see the doc
string of define-mail-user-agent for the full list).  But if
rfc822-goto-eoh can do the job, maybe it's "good enough"?

Well, moving one line after that, if this is the line you get to with
that function, is easy.  Don't all MUAs have that line?
