What were you trying to do?
	send a piece of mail from within emacs	


What went wrong?
	Well first off it tried to use mh rather than mail-mode.  I
	can see how this would be more intuitive for most people,
	although it is a change in behavior that I find annoying (I
	often pop into mail mode to send a quick message while I'm
	composing a long draft in mh, and I don't want to move buffers
	around.

	Second, it completely ignored my components file when putting
	together the draft buffer.

What should have happened?
	If it is going to use mh rather than mai-mode, it shoudl at
	least get itright and find the components file.


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	I can always rebind C-x m but I wonder if this will bother
	other people.
