[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Wondering how to send enriched text emails, I looked at the Info
directory and saw "2.1:  Simple MML Example" in a section about MIME.  I
read:

[Message part 2 (text/plain, inline)]

[Message part 3 (text/enriched, inline)]

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

So, I yanked the MML code into my C-x M buffer and tried doing M-x
mml-generate-mime.  Such a program did not exist.

I went to <irc://irc.freenode.net/emacs> and asked about this.  I was
told to look in the "Attachments" menu.  In it were what seemed to
behave as proper tools for sending a text/enriched message.

But, the docs remain wrong.

mml-generate-mime is not an interactive function, you need to call it
through M-: or ielm.
