.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Comp

message form to the draft being composed and then invokes an editor on
-the draft (unless
-.B \-noedit
-is given, in which case the initial edit is suppressed).

The default message form contains the following elements:

If a file named

it will be used instead of this form. You may specify an alternate

-.SH BUGS
-If
-.I whatnowproc
-is
-.BR whatnow ,
-then
-.B comp
-uses a built\-in
-.BR whatnow ,
-it does not actually run the
-.B whatnow
-program.
-Hence, if you define your own
-.IR whatnowproc ,
-don't call it
-.B whatnow
-since
-.B comp
-won't run it.
