Mail Mode
=========

   The major mode used in the mail buffer is Mail mode, which is much
like Text mode except that various special commands are provided on the
`C-c' prefix.  These commands all have to do specifically with editing
or sending the message.  In addition, Mail mode defines the character
`%' as a word separator; this is helpful for using the word commands to
edit mail addresses.

   Mail mode is normally used in buffers set up automatically by the
`mail' command and related commands.  However, you can also switch to
Mail mode in a file-visiting buffer.  This is a useful thing to do if
you have saved the text of a draft message in a file.
