Subject: Auto Responder for 3.95

Does Pine 3.95 have an Auto Responder?  Some code that will 
automatically mail someone back a response if you are on vacation and the
response will specifically state that you are on vacation and will be
back on such and such a date.
	Thanks for your quick replies.

PINE currently does not have an automatic response system, nor do I
believe one will be implemented (except for the highly proposed killfile
machanism).  Use "man vacation" to get details on setting up an automatic
response.  It's quite easy to set up and practically does it for you.  It
even tells you how to disable it when you return.

Yes, I see... hmmm... Ok, being a UNIX Administrator, you should have your
system set with "apropos". Try saying

	apropos vacation

and you're there... 

vacation (1)         - reply to mail automatically

If you don't have vacation installed, you can use procmail with, e.g.,
ackmail.rc (to be got from an ftp server near you). Grepping the FAQ would
have told you that, too, btw.
