The most typical thing users want to use the multipart things in
@acronym{MIME} for is to add ``attachments'' to mail they send out.
This can be done with the @kbd{C-c C-a} command, which will prompt for
-a file name and a @acronym{MIME} type. If your Emacs supports drag
-and drop, you can also drop the file in the Message buffer.

+If your Emacs supports drag and drop, you can also drop the file in the
+Message buffer. The variable @code{mml-dnd-protocol-alist} specifies
+what kind of action is done when you drop a file into the Message
+buffer. The variable @code{mml-dnd-attach-options} controls which
+@acronym{MIME} options you want to specify when dropping a file. If it
+is a list, valid members are @code{type}, @code{description} and
+@code{disposition}. @code{disposition} implies @code{type}. If it is
+@code{nil}, don't ask for options. If it is @code{t}, ask the user
+whether or not to specify options.
You can also create arbitrarily complex multiparts using the @acronym{MML}

When you are replying to or following up an article, you normally want

-@code{message-yank-prefix} prepended to it (except for quoted and
-empty lines which uses @code{message-yank-cited-prefix}). The default
-is @samp{> }.
