How do I auto forward messages to another email address using Pine?

And, can I write a message that all senders will receive that informs them
I'm temporarily unable to access my GWIS2 account?

Sincerely,
D.O. Fuller

Afaik, you can't do it in pine but you may put a file called
'.forward' into your home directory with your new address as content:

echo "new-name@new-domain" > $HOME/.forward

Not with pine again. Try 'man vacation' and use it, if it's available
or get a copy of it from the net.

l8er, norbert.
