.SH DESCRIPTION
-The \fIrcvdist\fR program will accept a message on its standard input
-and resend a copy of this message to all of the addresses listed on its
-command line.
-
-When a message is redistributed with the \fIrcvdist\fR command, the
-format of the Resent-xxx header fields is controlled by the forms files
-"rcvdistcomps". If a file named "rcvdistcomps" exists in the user's nmh
-directory, it will be used instead of the default one. You may specify
-an alternate forms file with the switch `\-form\ formfile'.
-
-The "rcvdistcomps" file uses the format string facility described in
-\fImh\-format\fR(5). In addition to the standard format escapes,
-\fIrcvdist\fP also recognizes the following additional \fIcomponent\fR
