Same here:

,----[ <f1> f message-mail RET ]
| message-mail is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `message.el'.
| (message-mail &optional TO SUBJECT OTHER-HEADERS CONTINUE SWITCH-FUNCTION 
YANK-ACTION SEND-ACTIONS)
| 
| Start editing a mail message to be sent.
| OTHER-HEADERS is an alist of header/value pairs.
