Quitting Compose Mode

There are several commands allowing you to quit the compose mode.

Typing the end-of-file character (`C-D') on a line alone finishes compose mode and sends the message to its destination. The `C-D' character looses its special meaning if ignoreeof mail variable is set.

If mail variable dot is set, typing dot (`.') on a line alone achieves the same effect as `C-D' above.

Finally, using `~.' escape always quits compose mode and sends out the composed message.

To abort composing of a message without sending it, type interrupt character (by default, `C-C') twice. This behavior is disabled when mail variable ignore is set. In this case, you can use `~x' escape to achieve the same effect.
