.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Dist
is similar to
.IR formfile .
The form used will be prepended to the message being resent.
.PP
-If the draft already exists,
-.B dist
-will ask you as to the disposition of the draft. A reply of
-.B quit
-will abort
-.BR dist ,
-leaving the draft intact;
-.B replace
-will replace the existing draft with a blank skeleton; and
-.B list
-will display the draft.
-.PP
Only those addresses in
.RI \*(lq Resent\-To: \*(rq,
.RI \*(lq Resent\-cc: \*(rq,
switch is given, the message being distributed will
be annotated with the lines:
- Resent: date
- Resent: addrs
+ Resent:\ date
+ Resent:\ addrs
where each address list contains as many lines as required. This
annotation will be done only if the message is sent directly from
the folder containing the message is stored in the environment variable
.BR $mhfolder .
.PP
-The
-.B \-draftfolder
-.I +folder
-and
-.B \-draftmessage
-.I msg
-switches invoke the
-.B nmh
-draft folder facility. This is an advanced (and highly
-useful) feature. Consult the
