+      The message composition window has its own set of menus:
+      <guimenu>File</guimenu>, which controls operations on files and
+      data, <guimenu>Edit</guimenu>, for text editing,
+      <guimenu>Format</guimenu>, which controls the file format of
+      messages you send, <guimenu>View</guimenu>, to set how you view
+      the message, and <guimenu>Insert</guimenu>, which holds tools
+      for embedding files and other items in messages.  Here's what's in them:
