24 The \fIrcvdist\fR program will accept a message on its standard input
25 and resend a copy of this message to all of the addresses listed on its
28 When a message is redistributed with the \fIrcvdist\fR command, the
29 format of the Resent-xxx header fields is controlled by the forms files
30 "rcvdistcomps". If a file named "rcvdistcomps" exists in the user's nmh
31 directory, it will be used instead of the default one. You may specify
32 an alternate forms file with the switch `\-form\ formfile'.
34 The "rcvdistcomps" file uses the format string facility described in
35 \fImh\-format\fR(5). In addition to the standard format escapes,

48 delivery of the message, although this can be changed by defining the
49 \fIpostproc\fR profile component.
