Readying multimedia messages for sending
........................................

   When you are finished editing a MIME message, it might look like
this:

   The lines added by the previous commands are `mhn' directives and
need to be converted to MIME directives before sending.  This is
accomplished by the command `C-c C-e' (`mh-edit-mhn'), which runs `mhn'
on the message.  The following screen shows what those commands look
like in full MIME format.  You can see why mail user agents are usually
built to hide these details from the user.

   This action can be undone by running `C-c C-m C-u'
(`mh-revert-mhn-edit').  It does this by reverting to a backup file.
You are prompted to confirm this action, but you can avoid the
confirmation by adding an argument (for example, `C-u C-c C-m C-u').
