  20 .SH DESCRIPTION
  21 .B rcvdist
  22 accepts a message on its standard input and resends a copy of
  23 the message to all of the addresses listed on its command line.
  24 .PP
  25 The format of the Resent-xxx header fields is specified by the form file
  26 .RI \*(lq rcvdistcomps \*(rq.
  27 If a file named
  28 .RI \*(lq rcvdistcomps \*(rq
  29 exists in the user's nmh directory, it will be used instead of the
  30 default file.
  31 You may specify an alternate forms file with
  32 .B \-form
  33 .IR formfile .
  34 .PP
  35 The
  36 .RI \*(lq rcvdistcomps \*(rq
  37 file uses the format string facility described in
  38 .IR mh\-format (5).
  39 In addition to the standard format escapes,
  40 .B rcvdist
  41 also recognizes the following
  42 .I component
  43 escape:
  44 .PP
  45 .RS 5
  46 .nf
  47 .ta \w'Dtimenow  'u +\w'Returns  'u
  48 .I "Escape      Returns Description"
  49 addresses       string  the addresses to distribute to
  50 .fi
  51 .RE
  52 .PP
  53 By default,
  54 .B rcvdist
  55 uses the
  56 .B post
  57 program to deliver the message, although this can be changed by
  58 defining the
  59 .I postproc
  60 profile component.
