Is there any way to have Pine run a program/scipt/whatever every 
time a new e-mail is to be composed?

Not sure if the will work how you want it to, but try the following:

In Setup/Config, make sure that enable-alternate-editor-implicitly is 
set, and that editor is set to the script that contains the command 
you want to execute, as well as your editor command, such as:

editor                 = news.edit  

where news.edit is an executable script such as the following:

fortune>>$1
your-editor $1

In the new Pine 3.92 release, you can set up "sending-filters" in the
Setup/Config screen.  Pine will then prompt you to pass the composed
message through one of the listed filters before sending it out.
Getting that to do what you want is left as an exercise ;-)

Sometimes the new Pine _doesn't_ remember where my INBOX is. It works fine
now but I wasn't fiddlin' with nuttin' when it freaked and fixed itself. J
