Indeed.  But how would/should the syntax look like for this?

        ...
	(add-hook 'message-setup-hook
		  `(lambda ()
		     (let ((user-full-name ,(or (cdr name) user-full-name))
			   (user-mail-address
			    ,(or (cdr address) user-mail-address)))

			 (message-remove-header "From")
			 (message-goto-eoh)
			 (insert "From: " (message-make-from) "\n")))))))))
        ...
