+  "Edit a message to be sent.  Argument means resume editing (don't erase).
+Search for an existing mail buffer currently not in use and initialize it,

+With an argument, search for a busy existing mail buffer and re-select it.
+
+Returns with message buffer selected; value t if message freshly initialized.
+By default, the signature file `~/.signature' is inserted at the end;
+see the variable `mail-signature'.

+\\<mail-mode-map>
+While editing message, type \\[mail-send-and-exit] to send the message and exit.
+
+Various special commands starting with C-c are available in sendmail mode
+to move to message header fields:
+\\{mail-mode-map}
+
+If `mail-self-blind' is non-nil, a BCC to yourself is inserted
+when the message is initialized.
+
+If `mail-default-reply-to' is non-nil, it should be an address (a string);
+a Reply-to: field with that address is inserted.
+
+If `mail-archive-file-name' is non-nil, an FCC field with that file name
+is inserted.
+
+If `mail-setup-hook' is bound, its value is called with no arguments
+after the message is initialized.  It can add more default fields.
+
+When calling from a program, the second through fifth arguments
+ TO, SUBJECT, IN-REPLY-TO and CC specify if non-nil
+ the initial contents of those header fields.
+ These arguments should not have final newlines.
+The sixth argument REPLYBUFFER is a buffer whose contents
+ should be yanked if the user types C-c C-y.
+The seventh argument ACTIONS is a list of actions to take
+ if/when the message is sent.  Each action looks like (FUNCTION . ARGS);
+ when the message is sent, we apply FUNCTION to ARGS.
