3. Composing messages

This section explains how to compose a message.

Methods to enter Draft mode to write a new message are given below.

Then a buffer like the following is prepared.

To: 
Subject:
From: Kazu Yamamoto <kazu@example.org> 
X-Mailer: Mew version 6.2 on Emacs 22.1
----

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

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

Drafts are temporarily stored in the +draft folder. You can write multiple messages simultaneously.

For the method of deleting a prepared draft, please refer to See section Give me a break.

Now let's see how to use Draft mode.
