<title>The Message Composer Menus</title>
<para>
- Kevin might do this section.
+ 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:
