Only thing that I would like to know how to change is, by default

I have googled for the naswer and only found instructions on how to
do this if I was using emacs as the editor. I have nano set as my
default editor for mutt, as I am more familar with nano.

Any ideas of how I would accomplish this? Or should I start using
another editor?

What's the go-to-bottom-of-page command in nano?

With Vim, its "G"

But that's the answer of last resort...

Why?

You should be editing on the way to the bottom. Pure bottom-posting is
as bad as pure-top-posting. If I had just bottom-posed, you would see
Ron's signature lines, the debian-list signature line, and Ron telling
you to turn on line wrapping. As it is, I left more than I probably
should have.
