When you type 'r', Emacs invokes rmail-reply, which calls
rmail-start-mail, which calls compose-mail.  compose-mail invokes the
composition function of mail-user-agent, and when you invoke the
command to send the response, Emacs invokes the send-mail function of
mail-user-agent.

rmail-start-mail (and thus compose-mail) is also called by commands
rmail-mail, rmail-continue, rmail-forward, and a couple of others.
