[Nmh-workers] Changes to rcvdist.man

[Larry Hynes]

A cleanup, and possibly some controversy: I've replaced

        Rather than standard message skeleton

with

        User message skeleton

My thinking here is that a) we can do away with the kinda weird
'Rather than', b) I find the distinction between 'default' and
'standard' to be vague and c) it only appears in a few pages
and is easily remedied. It turns up in comp(1) as "An alternative
to the standard skeleton.", where 'standard' is used in the same
way as 'default' is used in rcvdist(1), so I think it's worth
settling on something 'better' and applying it consistently.

My proposal is 'Default foo', for the foo in %nmhetcdir% and
'User foo' for the foo in the user's <mh-dir>.

(It occurs to me that in barging in here with my keyboard blazing
I am quite possibly stepping on venerable toes. I apologise for
any discomfort caused, however inadvertently, to those who may
have come before me.)

David - README.manpages states that I shouldn't be changing the
dates on these, as I'm only really tweaking formatting. I can revert
the date changes if you like?
