Thanks David. I tried your auto_send 1 line script and it worked with dist as you said. Your tip and a dump of env seen by .../auto_send suggested this approach to mimic dist: mhannotate=Resent mhmessages=2022 mhatfile=1 mhfolder=~/Mail/sent mhuse=0 mhaltmsg=~/Mail/sent/2022 mhdraft=~/Mail/drafts/1007 mhinplace=1 mhdist=1 send -verbose ~/Mail/drafts/1007 --- Changing topic a bit to "'dist' with msg as pathname ( not ending in an integer )" Although above 'send' worked, it would be nice to specify ~/Mail/sent/2022 as say ~/Mail/sent/bar, and ~/Mail/drafts/1007 as ~/Mail/drafts/foo so they won't be accidently renumbered or deleted before my 'at' job, that may run the send perhaps a week later. I would probably hard link ~/Mail/sent/2022 to ~/Mail/sent/bar. ( I do not mind manually making ~/Mail/drafts/foo. ) --- back to main topic So, I think you and Ralph have answered my question - thanks! -- thanks, Tom -- Below experiment, works except that ~/Mail/sent/bar is not annotated (for example - no 'Prev-Resent' headers): mhannotate=Resent mhaltmsg=~/Mail/sent/bar mhdist=1 send ~/Mail/drafts/foo -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
