Please take a look at the code of compose-mail. It is defined in
simple.el. You will see the answer there.
It might also be educational to look at define-mail-user-agent (in
subr.el), which is the function used to define all the
mail-user-agent's we have in Emacs. Its doc string describes, among
other things, what constitutes a "mail user agent" in Emacs.
