message:
  Checked rmail.texi
  
  * doc/emacs/rmail.texi: Copyedits.  Use 'mail composition buffer' in place
  of '*mail*', since Message does not call it that.
  (Rmail Reply): Rename rmail-dont-reply-to-names.
  \\`info- no longer handled specially.
  Update for rmail-enable-mime-composing.
  Don't mention 'm' for replies.
  Don't mention rmail-mail-new-frame and cancelling, since it does
  not work for Message at the moment.
  
  * lisp/mail/rmail.el (rmail-dont-reply-to-names): Mark as obsolete.
  
  * lisp/mail/undigest.el (unforward-rmail-message): Doc fix.
  
  * admin/FOR-RELEASE: Related markup.
