Subject: 'Vacation' mode on PINE?

Is there any way I can send an automatic reply to all incoming messages
indicating that I am out of town and would be unable to answer their
email messages immediately? Thanks

    Not with Pine as such.  A 'vacation' reply is part of the mail
*delivery* process.  Pine gets into the picture as part of the mail
*reading* process after delivery is complete (skipping sending for
now).  Therefore, you need something that hooks into the delivery
process.  If you are using Pine under some flavor of Un*x operating
system then you can use 'vacation' itself (or something a little
dressier, like 'procmail').  If you are on a different system, you will
have to use some other process I am not familiar with.

    Nancy McGough has a lot of good material on her WWW pages.  I don't
remember the top URL, but I have a link in my home page.
