| *Your preference for a mail composition package.
| Various Emacs Lisp packages (e.g. Reporter) require you to compose an
| outgoing email message.  This variable lets you specify which
| mail-sending package you prefer.
| 
| Valid values include:
| 
|   `sendmail-user-agent' -- use the default Emacs Mail package.
|                            See Info node `(emacs)Sending Mail'.
|   `mh-e-user-agent'     -- use the Emacs interface to the MH mail system.
|                            See Info node `(mh-e)'.
|   `message-user-agent'  -- use the Gnus Message package.
|                            See Info node `(message)'.
|   `gnus-user-agent'     -- like `message-user-agent', but with Gnus
|                            paraphernalia, particularly the Gcc: header for
|                            archiving.
