@findex message-mail

Message is a @acronym{MIME}-compliant posting agent.  The user generally
doesn't have to do anything to make the @acronym{MIME} happen---Message will
automatically add the @code{Content-Type} and
@code{Content-Transfer-Encoding} headers.

The most typical thing users want to use the multipart things in
@acronym{MIME} for is to add ``attachments'' to mail they send out.  This can
be done with the @kbd{C-c C-a} command, which will prompt for a file
name and a @acronym{MIME} type.

You can also create arbitrarily complex multiparts using the @acronym{MML}
language (@pxref{Composing, , Composing, emacs-mime, The Emacs MIME
Manual}).

The most typical thing users want to use the multipart things in
@acronym{MIME} for is to add ``attachments'' to mail they send out.
This can be done with the @kbd{C-c C-a} command (@kbd{M-x mml-attach}),
which will prompt for a file name and a @acronym{MIME} type.

@vindex mml-dnd-protocol-alist
@vindex mml-dnd-attach-options
If your Emacs supports drag and drop, you can also drop the file in the
Message buffer.  The variable @code{mml-dnd-protocol-alist} specifies
what kind of action is done when you drop a file into the Message
buffer.  The variable @code{mml-dnd-attach-options} controls which
@acronym{MIME} options you want to specify when dropping a file.  If it
is a list, valid members are @code{type}, @code{description} and
@code{disposition}.  @code{disposition} implies @code{type}.  If it is
@code{nil}, don't ask for options.  If it is @code{t}, ask the user
whether or not to specify options.

You can also create arbitrarily complex multiparts using the @acronym{MML}
language (@pxref{Composing, , Composing, emacs-mime, The Emacs MIME
