445 There are several other terms that are used in Emacs that you should
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
446 know. The @dfn{point} is where the cursor currently is. You can save
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
447 your current place in the file by setting a @dfn{mark}. This operation
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
448 is useful in several ways. The mark can be later used when defining a
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>

449 @dfn{region}, which is the text between the point and mark. Many
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

450 commands operate on regions, such as those for deleting text or
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man

Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>

6222 strange at first, but you'll get used to it. There are two ways to
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
6223 help you feel that the desired fields are added. The first is the
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
6224 action when the message is sent: if any fields are added
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
6225 automatically, you are given a chance to see and to confirm these
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
6226 fields before the message is actually sent. You can do away with this
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
6227 confirmation by turning off the option
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
6228 @code{mh-auto-fields-prompt-flag}. The second method is manual: once
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
6229 the header contains one or more recipients, you may run the command
8e4bd303e91e Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
6230 @kbd{C-c M-d} (@code{mh-insert-auto-fields}) or choose the
