hi,
there is a small error in the emacs manual in chapter Sending mail :

C-x 4 m
Likewise, in another window (compose-mail-other-window).
C-x 5 m
Likewise, but in a new frame (compose-mail-other-frame).

instead

C-x 4 m
Likewise, but in a new frame (compose-mail-other-frame).
C-x 5 m
Likewise, in another window (compose-mail-other-window).

Thank you for the report, but the manual is correct.

See bindings.el:

(define-key ctl-x-4-map "m" 'compose-mail-other-window)
(define-key ctl-x-5-map "m" 'compose-mail-other-frame)

I cannot find any version of Emacs in which this is true.
Please tell me which version of Emacs you are using, and give a complete
example starting from emacs -q --no-site-file .

Here is mine:

emacs-23.3 -q --no-site-file
C-x m
C-x 4 m

   -> Emacs starts composing a second mail in a new window, not a new frame


Perhaps you are confused by Emacs's use of "window" and "frame"?
Please see the definitions of these terms in the Glossary in the Emacs
manual.
