- EDIT - edit the outgoing message
-
- Usage: EDIT [field]
-
- The EDIT command brings you into an editor, so you can work on the outgoing
- message. The editor used is defined with SET EDITOR; the default is emacs.
-
- You can also start the editor by typing control-e when you are typing text
- (or as soon as you reach the "Message..." prompt in the SEND procedure).
- The EDIT command is usually used to go back and make further changes
- after you have DISPLAYed the message or used RESTORE-DRAFT.
-
- EDIT normally brings the entire message into the editor; with emacs, the
- header and text are normally in separate buffers (see SET GNUEMACS-MMAIL).
- You can also specify "header" or "text".
-
- Using an editor is useful if you are composing a reply with the REPLY
- INCLUDING command, since you can move back into the included text
- and add comments within it.
