 <em/map/ specifies in which menu the binding belongs.  The currently
 defined maps are:

+<tag/generic
+This is not a real menu, but is used as a fallback for all of the other
+menus except for the pager and editor modes.  If a key is not defined in
+another menu, Mutt will look for a binding to use in this menu.  This allows
+you to bind a key to a certain function in multiple menus instead of having
+multiple bind statements to accomplish the same task.
+<tag/alias
+The alias menu is the list of your personal aliases as defined in your
+muttrc.  It is the mapping from a short alias name to the full email
+address(es) of the recipient(s).
+<tag/attach
+The attachment menu is used to access the attachments on received messages.
+<tag/browser
+The browser is used for both browsing the local directory structure, and for
+listing all of your incoming mailboxes.
+<tag/editor
+The editor is the line-based editor the user enters text data.
+<tag/index
+The index is the list of messages contained in a mailbox.
+<tag/compose
+The compose menu is the screen used when sending a new message.
+<tag/pager
+The pager is the mode used to display message/attachment data, and help
+listings.
+<tag/pgp
+The pgp menu is used to select the OpenPGP keys used for encrypting outgoing
+messages.
+<tag/postpone
+The postpone menu is similar to the index menu, except is used when
+recalling a message the user was composing, but saved until later.
