You may specify an alternate -forms file with the switch -.B \-form -.IR formfile . -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, -and -.RI \*(lq Resent\-Bcc: \*(rq -will be sent. Also, a -.RI \*(lq "Resent\-Fcc: folder" \*(rq -will be honored (see -.BR send (1)). -Note that with -.BR dist , -the draft should contain only -.RI \*(lq Resent\-xxx: \*(rq -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. -.PP -If the -.B \-annotate -switch is given, the message being distributed will -be annotated with the lines: - - 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 -.BR dist . -If the message is not sent immediately from -.BR dist , -.RB \*(lq comp -.BR \-use \*(rq -may be used to re\-edit and send the constructed -message, but the annotations won't take place. Normally annotations are -done inplace in order to preserve any links to the message. You may use -the -.B \-noinplace -switch to change this. -.PP -See -.BR comp (1) -for a description of the -.B \-editor -and -.B \-noedit -switches. 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 , -and the pathname of -the folder containing the message is stored in the environment variable -.BR $mhfolder . -.PP -Consult the -.BR mh-draft (5) -man page for more information. -.PP -Upon exiting from the editor, -.B dist -will invoke the -.B whatnow -program. See -.BR whatnow (1) -for a discussion of available options. The invocation of this -program can be inhibited by using the -.B \-nowhatnowproc -switch. (In truth of fact, it is the -.B whatnow -program which starts the initial edit. Hence, -.B \-nowhatnowproc -will prevent any edit from occurring.) - -.SH FILES -.fc ^ ~ -.nf -.ta \w'%etcdir%/ExtraBigFileName 'u -^%etcdir%/distcomps~^The standard message skeleton -^or $HOME/.mmh/distcomps~^Rather than the standard skeleton -^$HOME/.mmh/profile~^The user profile -^+drafts~^The draft folder -.fi - -.SH "PROFILE COMPONENTS" -.fc ^ ~ -.nf -.ta 2.4i -.ta \w'ExtraBigProfileName 'u -^Path:~^To determine the user's mail storage -^Current\-Folder:~^To find the default current folder -^Draft\-Folder:~^To set the default draft\-folder -^Editor:~^To override the default editor -^fileproc:~^Program to refile the message -^whatnowproc:~^Program to ask the \*(lqWhat now?\*(rq questions -.fi - -.SH "SEE ALSO" -comp(1), forw(1), repl(1), send(1), whatnow(1) - -.SH DEFAULTS -.nf -.RB ` +folder "' defaults to the current folder" -.RB ` msg "' defaults to cur" -.RB ` \-noannotate ' -.RB ` \-inplace ' -.fi - -.SH CONTEXT -If a folder is given, it will become the current folder. The message -distributed will become the current message. - -.SH HISTORY -.B Dist -originally used headers of the form -.RI \*(lq Distribute\-xxx: \*(rq -instead of -.RI \*(lq Resent\-xxx: \*(rq. -In order to conform with the ARPA Internet standard, RFC\-822, the -.RI \*(lq Resent\-xxx: \*(rq -form is now used. -.B Dist -will recognize -.RI \*(lq Distribute\-xxx: \*(rq -type headers and automatically convert them to -.RI \*(lq Resent\-xxx: \*(rq. - -.SH BUGS -.B Dist -does not rigorously check the message being distributed -for adherence to the transport standard, but -.B post -called by -.B send -does. The -.B post -program will balk (and rightly so) at poorly formatted messages, and -.B dist -won't correct things for you. -.PP -If -.I whatnowproc -is -.BR whatnow , -then -.B comp -uses a built\-in -.BR whatnow , -it does not actually run the -.B whatnow -program. -Hence, if you define your own -.IR whatnowproc , -don't call it -.B whatnow -since -.B comp -won't run it. -.PP -If your current working directory is not writable, the link named -\*(lq@\*(rq is not available.
