2.7 Write, answer, and forward

Please use the following commands for writing, replying, and forwarding messages.

‘w’

Write a message. A new draft is prepared in Draft mode. Please refer to See section Composing messages.

‘C-uw’

Write a message. A new draft is prepared in Draft mode. The From: address of the current message is copied to the To: field in the draft.

‘W’

Send a message by modifying a part of the header of another message. Please refer to See section Re-sending messages.

‘a’

Answer to this message. A new draft is prepared in Draft mode. Mew automatically inserts the content of the fields To: and Cc:. Please refer to See section Replying to a message and deciding recipients.

‘C-ua’

Answer to this message only to the sender.

‘A’

Answer to this message. A new draft is prepared in Draft mode. Mew automatically inserts the content of the fields To: and Cc: and cites the body. Please refer to See section Replying to a message and deciding recipients.

‘C-uA’

Answer to this message only to the sender with citation.

‘f’

Forward this message to a third person. A new draft is prepared in Draft mode and this message is automatically attached. Please refer to See section Forwarding messages.

‘F’

Forward messages marked with ‘*’ to a third person. A new draft is prepared in Draft mode and this message is automatically attached. For more information, refer to See section Target ‘*’. Please refer to See section Forwarding messages.

If an error message returns, please try again with the following commands.

‘E’

Edit this message again to retry sending. Or edit this RFC822 part typically included in a MIME-encapsulated error message.

1. In +draft, the message is just edited.
2. In +queue or +postq, the message is moved to +draft and is edited.
3. Otherwise, the message is copied to +draft and is edited.

For +draft, +queue, and +postq, the "case" revives.

For the other folders, if ‘mew-case-guess-when-prepared’ is ‘t’, each field of the original header is replaced according to a guessed "case". For more information, see See section Changing receiving/sending behavior.

‘C-uE’

The same as ‘E’. But, when used for other folders than +draft, +queue, and +postq, the original header is retained even if ‘mew-case-guess-when-prepared’ is ‘t’.

‘M-e’

Edit an old fashioned error message in which the original message is encapsulated after "—– Original message follows —–".
