MIME$HELP.HLB  —  NEW
    Format: NEW [filename]

    Creates a new message. If a file is not specified, you are prompted
    for a file name. The default text editor will then be invoked to add
    the text portion of the message. Use the ADD and REMOVE command to
    add MIME encoded attachments, such as images or sound files.

1    /EDIT

     /EDIT="edit/teco"
     /EDIT="@ system$manger:mime_message_create_script.com"
     /NOEDIT

    Defines the editor or command procedure to be used for the current edit
    session. Use /NOEDIT to bypass the edit session.

    The /EDIT (or /NOEDIT) qualifier overrides the current text editor. The
    current text editor is defined in the following precedence:

      o with the /EDIT="edit_command" or /NOEDIT qualifier

      o as defined by the MAIL$EDIT logical (callable_[lse,edt,teco,tpu] or
        DCL command procedure filename). Refer to the OpenVMS User's Manual
        for more information.

      o as defined in the SYS$MANAGER or user's MIME$MAILCAP.DAT with the
        edit option. Refer to SHOW CONTENT_TYPE HELP section for examples.

           edit=lsedit %s

      o set in the user's MAIL profile with the MAIL command set edit.
        MIME reads the user's mail profile record when invoked.

           MAIL> set edit [lse,edt,teco,tpu]

      o MIME default editor of EDIT/EDT

    NOTE: The /NOEDIT is useful for formatting blank MIME messages,
          or when a command procedure is used interractively or in BATCH
          mode.

 	 This can be used to avoid recursive command procedure invocation
 	 and process quota exhaustion.
