and sending mail---Message mode. This is only one of several
available modes. Prior to Emacs 23.2, the default mode was Mail mode,

-such as MIME support. Another available mode is MH-E
-(@pxref{Top,,MH-E,mh-e, The Emacs Interface to MH}).
+which is similar to Message mode in many respects but is less
+feature-rich; for example, it supports only basic MIME: it allows you
+to add attachments, but lacks more sophisticated MIME features.
