user docs: Remove several "send a message" docs.
These are now subsumed by compose-and-reply. Probably we'll want to write a "PMs and Group PMs" doc at some point so that we have something if people search for whether Zulip has Group PMs.

# Send a private message
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the following steps to send a new private message.
|
||||
|
||||
## Open a new compose box for private messaging
|
||||

||||
There are several ways to get a compose box for private messaging.

||||

||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. In the **one or more people...** field, input the username or email

||||
address of the user you want to privately message. When you begin
|
||||

|
||||
appear.
|
||||
|
||||
### Autopopulate private message addressee
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
are three ways to get to the user card.

||||
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
private message history with the selected user, and the compose box will be

||||
transformed to include the selected user's email address in the
