Hi, (the other reason is to handle the Resent-* headers). I use dist a lot. Note some email clients, Gmail included at one point though perhaps not any more, *don't* display the resend-* headers which can lead to confusion by recipients. Cheers, Ralph.

Hi Ken, I know those Resent-* headers have been in the RFCs forever, but it seems that many MUA authors have forgotten about them. Does anything other than dist generate them? Sure, mutt(1) for one when you `bounce'. Cheers, Ralph. ___

dist doesn't seem to work for me. I've never used it before so I might be doing something wrong, but it should be simple. With cur set, I just enter dist. The draft just contains: Resent-From: [my address] Resent-To: Resent-cc: Resent-fcc: The cur message isn't in the draft. There's
