.SH DESCRIPTION
.RE
.PP
If a file named
-.RI \*(lq distcomps \*(rq
+.RI ` distcomps '
exists in the user's mmh directory, it
will be used instead of this default form. You may specify an alternate
forms file with the switch
The form used will be prepended to the message being resent.
.PP
Only those addresses in
-.RI \*(lq Resent\-To: \*(rq,
-.RI \*(lq Resent\-Cc: \*(rq,
+.RI ` Resent\-To: ',
+.RI ` Resent\-Cc: ',
and
-.RI \*(lq Resent\-Bcc: \*(rq
+.RI ` Resent\-Bcc: '
will be sent. Also, a
-.RI \*(lq "Resent\-Fcc: folder" \*(rq
+.RI ` "Resent\-Fcc: folder" '
will be honored (see
.BR send (1)).
Note that with
.BR dist ,
the draft should contain only
-.RI \*(lq Resent\-xxx: \*(rq
+.RI ` Resent\-xxx: '
fields and no body. The headers and the body of
the original message are copied to the draft when the message is sent.
Use care in constructing the headers for the redistribution.
.BR dist .
If the message is not sent immediately from
.BR dist ,
-.RB \*(lq comp
-.BR \-use \*(rq
+.RB ` comp
+.BR \-use '
may be used to re\-edit and send the constructed
message, but the annotations won't take place. Annotations are always
done inplace in order to preserve any links to the message.
.BR comp (1)
for a description of the
.B \-editor
-switch. Note that while in the editor, the message being resent
-is available through a link named \*(lq@\*(rq (assuming the default
-.IR whatnowproc ).
-In addition, the actual pathname of the message is
-stored in the environment variable
-.BR $editalt ,
+switch. Note that while in the editor, the actual pathname of the
+message being resent is stored in the environment variable
+.BR $mhaltmsg ,
and the pathname of
the folder containing the message is stored in the environment variable
.BR $mhfolder .

.SH HISTORY
.B Dist
originally used headers of the form
-.RI \*(lq Distribute\-xxx: \*(rq
+.RI ` Distribute\-xxx: '
instead of
-.RI \*(lq Resent\-xxx: \*(rq.
+.RI ` Resent\-xxx: '.
In order to conform with the ARPA Internet standard, RFC\-822, the
-.RI \*(lq Resent\-xxx: \*(rq
+.RI ` Resent\-xxx: '
form is now used.
Since
.B mmh
.B dist
will no longer recognize and convert
-.RI \*(lq Distribute\-xxx: \*(rq
+.RI ` Distribute\-xxx: '
type headers.
