     This really should be added to the faq since it comes up at least
once a week.  The trick is to use a program that is availible on most
Unix systems called vacation.  Just type vacation and if you have it,
you can edit a message that will automatically be sent to people who
mail to you.  When you come back, type vacation again and it will be removed.

How can I configure Pine to send an automatic message (reply) 
to incoming messages indicating that I am away. Thanks

	You can't.

	You need to use something like the "vacation" program which
is available on many varities of U*NIX.
