Let's start our tour by sending ourselves a message which we can later
read and process.
Enter
M-x mh-smail
to invoke the mh-e program to send messages.
You will be prompted in the minibuffer by
To:.
Enter your login name.
The next prompt is
cc:.
Hit RET to indicate that no carbon copies are to be sent.
At the
Subject:
prompt, enter
Test
or anything else that comes to mind.
Once you've specified the recipients and subject, your message appears
in an Emacs buffer whose mode
is
MH-Letter.
(A
mode
changes Emacs to make it easier to edit a particular type of text.)
Enter some text in the body of the message, using normal Emacs
commands.
You should now have something like the Figure
mh-e message composition window:
Figure: mh-e message composition window
There are several commands specific to
MH-Letter
mode, but at this time we'll only use
C-c C-c
to send your message.
Type
C-c C-c
now.
That's all there is to it!
