[comp.mail.mh] redistribution using mh-e

rtor@ansa.co.UK (Owen Rees) (02/28/91)

I am having a problem trying to redistribute messages using mh-e ['r'
when in (mh-e show) mode i.e. calling mh-redistribute].  I get an
error message saying:

post: illegal header line -- Resent-To:
post: re-format message and try again

A quick look at the mh-redistribute function reveals that it does not
use 'dist' (which works fine). 

version: MH 6.7.1 #10[UCI] (basilisk) of Wed Jan 16 18:12:58 GMT 1991
options: [ATHENA] [ATZ] [BIND] [DUMB] [ISI] [MHE] [MHRC]
         [MORE='"/usr/bin/more"'] [NDIR] [NFS] [OVERHEAD] [RPATHS]
         [SENDMAILBUG] [SOCKETS] [SYS5] [TZNAME] [WHATNOW]
         [SBACKUP='"#"'] [UK] [TYPESIG='void'] [MSGPROT='"0600"']
         [FOLDPROT='"0700"'] [SENDMTS] [SMTP]

GNU Emacs 18.55.5 of Thu Sep  6 1990 on basilisk (hpux)

First line of the mh-e.el file is:

;;;  mh-e.el	(Version: 3.6 for GNU Emacs Version 18 and MH.5 and MH.6)

Is this enought to identify the version?

Any suggestions?

Try setting mh-redist-full-contents to nil in your Emacs and see if
that solves your problem.
