After looking again at the 'dist' man page I have:

    $ head -5 ~/Mail/distcomps 
    Resent-To: %<{nmh-to}%{nmh-to}%>
    Resent-From: %<{nmh-from}%{nmh-from}%>
    Resent-cc: %<{nmh-cc}%{nmh-cc}%>
    Resent-Fcc: %<{fcc}%{fcc}%>
    Resent-Comments:

Pls check above.

Now w/above distcomps, the -from, -to, -cc, and -fcc switches work.

Consider 

    echo send| dist -noedit -from address@hidden -to address@hidden -cc 
address@hidden -fcc resent +sent 2022

Is there a prefered way to the above approach for automating the send?
