This could result in saving a draft and then having hashcash appear,
and then the +hashcash draft will not necessarily be saved.  It's
arguable what the right behavior is.

Given timestamps in hashcash, one could argue that hashcash stamps
shouldn't necessarily be saved in draft mode, but generated fresh
nearer to sending.

I think both work, but the former makes you wait.

It would be nice to have a keybinding for mail-add-payment-async in
Message mode.  Perhaps C-c C-f C-h (for hashcash header), or just C-c
C-h.

It would also be nice to have a hook that runs when the cursor leaves
an address fields and remains outside it for 5 seconds and that
invokes mail-add-payment-async.  I don't know how to do that.
