### mydist - workaround for dist/sendproc problem in "mysend"
### Usage: use as shell alias or function, or rename to "dist"
##
## THERE SEEMS TO BE A BUG IN MH 6.7.2 (AT LEAST) THAT WON'T
## PASS THE -dist SWITCH TO THE post COMMAND IF AN EXTERNAL
## sendproc (LIKE mysend) IS USED. THE RESULT IS ERRORS LIKE
## THESE IF YOU USE THAT sendproc DURING THE dist COMMAND:
## What now? send
## post: illegal header line -- Resent-To:
## ...
## THIS IS A FRONT-END dist SHELL SCRIPT THAT MAKES A
## TEMPORARY COPY OF YOUR MH PROFILE WITHOUT ITS sendproc: ENTRY.
## THEN IT RUNS THE REAL dist AND USES THAT MH PROFILE.
##
## INSTALL THIS AS A C SHELL ALIAS OR BOURNE SHELL FUNCTION.
## OR, RENAME THIS TO dist AND PUT IT IN YOUR SEARCH PATH BEFORE
## THE REAL dist COMMAND. THE "NOTE" MESSAGE WILL REMIND YOU.
