@section Writing messages
@subsection What's the deal with replies to messages I wrote myself?
Like many other mail-clients, @t{mu4e} treats replies to messages you
wrote yourself as special --- these messages keep the same @t{To:} and
@t{Cc:} as the original message. This is to ease the common case of
following up to a message you wrote earlier.
@subsection How can I automatically set the @t{From:}-address for a reply-message?
See @ref{Compose hooks}.

@subsection How can I influence the way the original message looks when replying/forwarding?
Since @code{mu4e-compose-mode} derives from @xref{(message) Top}, you can re-use
many of its facilities.
many (though not @emph{all} of its facilities.
@subsection How can I easily include attachments in the messages I write?
You can drag-and-drop from your desktop; alternatively, you can use @ref{(emacs)

@subsection @t{mu4e} seems to remove myself from the @t{Cc:}-list; how can I prevent that?
Set @code{mu4e-compose-keep-self-cc} to @t{t} in your configuration.
@subsection @t{mu4e} includes myself from the @t{Cc:}-list; how can I prevent that?
You need list your personal addresses by passing one or more
@t{--my-address=...} to @t{mu init}. Note that the
@code{mu4e-user-mail-address-list} which was used in older @t{mu4e} versions is
no longer used. Also see the entries for version 1.4 in @t{NEWS.org} (@kbd{N})
in the main-menu.
@subsection How can I start a new message-thread from a reply?
Remove the @t{In-Reply-To} header, and @t{mu4e} automatically removes
the (hidden) @t{References} header as well when sending it. This makes

@subsection Address auto-completion does not work?
If you have set @code{mu4e-compose-complete-only-personal} to non-nil,
@t{mu4e} only completes 'personal' addresses - so you tell it about your
e-mail addresses when setting up the database (@t{mu init});

The first and final messages are the most important, and there may be
considerable time between them, depending on the size of the message.
@subsection Is it possible to view headers and messages, or compose new ones, in a separate frame?
Yes. There is builtin support for composing messages in a new
frame. Set the variable @code{mu4e-compose-in-new-frame} to @code{t}.
@subsection Is it possible to view headers and messages, or compose new ones, in a separate frame or window?
Yes. There is built-in support for composing messages in a new frame or window.
Either use Emacs' standard @t{compose-mail-other-frame} (@kbd{C-x 5 m}) and
@t{compose-mail-other-window} (@kbd{C-x 4 m}) if you have set up @t{mu4e} as your Emacs
e-mailer.
However, if you want to personalize the display of all of @t{mu4e}'s
buffers, you can do so by customizing @code{display-buffer-alist}.
Additionally, there's the variable @code{mu4e-compose-switch} (see its
docstring) which you can customize to influence how @t{mu4e} creates new
messages.
@subsection How can I apply format=flowed to my outgoing messages?
This enables receiving clients that support this feature to reflow
