Sending mail
Inside rmail, you can send a mail message simply by typing
m. This will create a *mail* buffer with fields for To: and
Subject: to be filled in and an appropriate text separator. Fill in
these fields and add your text after the separator using normal emacs
editing commands. To send the message, type C-c C-c. By typing
r in rmail you can reply to the current message. This
behaves much like m except the header lines are already filled
in appropriately according to the message you are replying to.
Similarly, typing f allows you to forward the current message.
This starts a new message to be sent like m with the subject
line filled in and the message you were visiting in the text section
of the outgoing message below a line delimiting the start of the
forwarded message. You should fill in the To: field and then whatever
text you deem appropriate (including editing the forwarded message if
you desire). Sending both replies and forwards is accomplished just
as with m by using C-c C-c. If you stop working on an
outgoing mail message to do something else (e.g. look at some of your
mail), you can get back to the buffer where you are editing outgoing
mail by typing c to the RMAIL buffer.
