Looking at the stdlib source, it doesn't look like there's an easy
way to specify where it gets inserted.  However, the source to
email.message.Message.add_header() is all of 9 lines of code, so it
wouldn't be too hard to subclass Message and twiddle self._headers as
you would any other list (i.e., using .insert() to specify an index).

It might look something like

  class MyMessage(email.message.Message):
    def insert_header(self, index, _name, _value, **_params):
      parts =3D []
      for k, v in _params.items():
        if v is None:
          parts.append(k.replace('_', '-'))
        else:
          parts.append(_formatparam(k.replace('_', '-'), v))
      if _value is not None:
        parts.insert(0, _value)
      self._headers.insert(index, (_name, SEMISPACE.join(parts)))

You might still need to search for *where* you want to insert it, but
I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader. :-)
