Subject: vacation messages

Is there any way that Pine can be configured to send
out vacation messages in response to incoming mail
when you are away?

Not so far as I know, but there is a Unix command "vacation" which does.  
It will forward messages and send back a canned reply; consult your local 
manpages for implementation.

Pin cannot do this but you could either use the vacation program supplied 
with many different versions of Unix or you can use procmail to do it for 
you.  Procmail also filters incoming email so that you can only answer 
certain types of email - you do not want to send an automatic reply back 
to this list for instance !
