 ## usage
 
+`taro` is a multi-window MUA with three types of windows:
+
+- `taro-ls`: the main `uxn` window where you will check your inbox and organize your mail
+- `taro-reader`: a terminal window that runs a shell script to read mail
+- `taro-compose`: a terminal window running `mcom`
+
+The windows are managed by a master program, `taro-ctl`, which talks to them with `messages` (see below).
+
+### mail management
+
 The `taro-ls` window has three main areas:
 
 - Mailboxes: it's assumed by taro-ctrl that your inbox is named INBOX, and it exists; it's put first, and the rest are shown in alphabetical order
@@ -31,18 +41,35 @@ - trash [`Del`]: move mail to the Trash folder, unless it's already in the Trash, in which case it's deleted
 
 There is a resize handle in the bottom right - clicking and dragging it resizes the window.
 
+### reading mail
+
+Reading mail is currently done in a terminal that pipes the mail content into `less` and gives some keybind options:
+
+- `q`: quit
+- `r`: reply
+- 'f': forward
+- 'o': open an attachment - you are presented with the MIME structure of the mail with parts numbered and prompted to select a number to open. The programs to open each mimetype are in the aforementioned `handle` function of the script.
+- `s`: save an attachment - like `o` but selecting a MIME part saves it to the folder `TARO_DOWNLOADS` in `config.cr`
+
+The attachment actions loop until you enter nothing or a non-numeric value. The whole script loops until you quit.
+
+### writing mail
+
+Writing mail is currently done by opening a terminal and calling `mcom`, which lets you compose in your `EDITOR` of choice and prompts for additional action.
+
+### crypto
+
 If you try to decrypt/sign with either `pinenetry-tty` or `pinentry-curses`, GPG will attach it to the stdio of `taro-ctl`, not the terminal window where you are viewing/composing mail. Use a graphical pinentry program instead.
 
 ## TODO
 
-- Make `mread` more user friendly
 - Implement keybinds for changing mailbox, selecting/scrolling mail, resizing
 - Add options to search for case-insensitivity and including body content
 - Add option to refile to copy instead of move
 - Flag/star messages? I never use this fature if IMAP...
 - Real `uxn` implementaions of reader/compose windows? Probably overkill
