I've got a quick question.  How do I instruct pine to
return a canned message to all incoming email senders
while I'm away from the office?  I tried putting a
.vacation file in my directory but that didn't seem to do
it.

Well, vacation *is* the tool to do the job. Pine as a MUA can't ...

Hmm, perhaps you should have a chat with your system administrator in
order to set up vacation properly :-/

l8er, norbert.

This is my third ISP in the last two years, and it's the first one that
actually *has* the vacation program on it.  I'm wondering how many other
systems don't.  Is that a standard thing to have, like vi and pine?
