Hello, 

couple questions

please direct me to info on 'enable background sending' & 'compose send
offers first filter'

I'd like to set up a file similar to signature, but that does some
auto-reply work ... such as "thanks for your message/mail, i'll reply
soon" etc.  or similar to the 'vacation forwarding' but on a daily basis.

I'm guessing the above is a possible choice???

- Julie

    There should be online help screens for these.  Have you checked
them?

    No.  Pine cannot do this in its current incarnation.  You really
seem to be folding two things into one -- auto-reply and a variable
signature.  They are not the same thing at all.  Pine cannot do either,
but under Un*x and Un*x-like systems, something like procmail can do
auto-reply.  (You have to be careful setting it up, though.)  Variable
signature is a whole different kettle of fish.
