(add-hook 'message-signature-setup-hook
(lambda () (insert "Insert this text before the citation not after.\n")))
>From emacs documentation:
message-signature-setup-hook is a variable defined in `message.el'.
Its value is nil
This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.
Documentation:
Normal hook, run each time a new outgoing message is initialized.
It is run after the headers have been inserted and before
the signature is inserted.
You can customize this variable.
Adding the comments is a good idea -- if the above convinces you
I'll prepare comments along this idea.
