712 The value is t if the message was newly initialized; otherwise, nil.
714 By default, the signature file `~/.signature' is inserted at the end;
715 see the variable `mail-signature'.
718 While editing message, type \\[mail-send-and-exit] to send the message and exit.
720 Various special commands starting with C-c are available in sendmail mode
721 to move to message header fields:
724 If `mail-self-blind' is non-nil, a BCC to yourself is inserted
725 when the message is initialized.
727 If `mail-default-reply-to' is non-nil, it should be an address (a string);
728 a Reply-to: field with that address is inserted.
730 If `mail-archive-file-name' is non-nil, an FCC field with that file name
733 If `mail-setup-hook' is bound, its value is called with no arguments
734 after the message is initialized. It can add more default fields.
736 When calling from a program, the second through fifth arguments
737 TO, SUBJECT, IN-REPLY-TO and CC specify if non-nil
738 the initial contents of those header fields.
739 These arguments should not have final newlines.
740 The sixth argument REPLYBUFFER is a buffer whose contents
741 should be yanked if the user types C-c C-y.
742 The seventh argument ACTIONS is a list of actions to take
743 if/when the message is sent. Each action looks like (FUNCTION . ARGS);
744 when the message is sent, we apply FUNCTION to ARGS.
745 This is how Rmail arranges to mark messages `answered'."
