            "content": "rcvdist  accepts  a message on its standard input and resends a copy of the message to all of\nthe addresses listed on its command line.\n\nThe format of the Resent-xxx header fields is specified by the form file “rcvdistcomps”.   If\na  file  named  “rcvdistcomps” exists in the user's nmh directory, it will be used instead of\nthe default file.  You may specify an alternate forms file with -form formfile.\n\nThe “rcvdistcomps” file uses the format string facility described in mh-format(5).  In  addi‐\ntion to the standard format escapes, rcvdist also recognizes the following component escape:\n\nEscape    Returns  Description\naddresses string   the addresses to distribute to\n\nBy  default,  rcvdist  uses  the  post  program  to deliver the message, although this can be\nchanged by defining the postproc profile component.\n",
