It doesn't say that you are given the option to include the original message either. This made it hard for me to find the include option. Suggested rethink: Mutt will then enter the _c_o_m_p_o_s_e menu and prompt you for the recipients to place on the ``To:'' header field. Next, it will ask you for the ``Subject:'' field for the message, providing a default if you are replying to or forwarding a message.
