Sedit

Sedit is a simple editor built into exmh. The editor works on draft messages that are kept in your MH draft folder. When you do Compose, Reply, or Forward, a new draft is created for you.

You can customize the key bindings for this editor.

Here is what the buttons do:

Abort - remove the draft message from the drafts folder. The editor window is removed.

Save&Quit - saves the message in the draft folder but does not send it.

Help - displays this window.

Quote... - Bring up a menu with the following options (replies only):

Send - saves and posts the message. By default it is removed from the draft folder when you do this, unless you select Keep on Send.

Sign - append your .signature file to the message. If you have autoSign set, or multiple files match .signature* then this button is replaced with the following menu.

Sign... - Select the signature file for the message. It is added when you select it, or when you Send the message if you have the autoSign Preferences item enabled. In this case, if you select the intelligent option, one of the signature files specified under the Intelligent Signatures Preferences option is used, depending upon the destination of the message.

Text... - apply text/enriched formatting to the current selection.

Crypt... - Options for encrypting and/or signing your message. Use format to specify email encoding (plain, application/pgp or MIME multipart). The version submenu controls the application used. The sign submenu selects the signing method or if we should sign AND encrypt. The encrypt checkbox indicates if the message is to be encrypted for the recipients (where an Fcc: header automatically makes the author a recipient). If the author has more than one private key the "Choose Key" option allows for the key selection. Finally, for those that cache their passphrases the "Clear Passphrase(s)" allows for clearing the cache.
