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,

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
