Composing messages

This section shows you how to compose a message. With Mew, you can create only MIME messages(messages without MIME-Version: cannot be composed).

The followings are methods to enter Draft mode to write a new message.

1. Type `M-x mew-send'.
2. Type `C-xm' if `mail-user-agent' is configured.
3. Press `w' in Summary mode.

Then a buffer like the following is prepared.

To: 
Subject: 
X-Mailer:Mew version 1.94 on XEmacs 20.4
----

We call this "Draft mode". In Draft mode, we call the region above "----" header. Also the region below "----" body.

Also, replying a message (`a' or `A') and/or forwarding messages (`f' or `F') lead you to Draft mode from Summary mode.

A draft is temporary stored under the +draft folder. You can write multiple messages at the same time.

Now let's see how to use Draft mode.
