- Hi All,
-
- I am looking for a ".com" or other executable to provide a "vacation"
- utility similar to what exists for MH mail on UNIX.
-
- The utility must:
- 1) Auto-answer all incoming mail with a prepared text
-
- 2) Leave all incoming mail marked as "NEWMAIL"
- I want to see them when I get back. ** IMPORTANT **
-
- In other words, it must be able to look inside the header of the incoming
- mail, read the "From" field into a reply field and read in the prepared
- text file for mailing. All this without marking the article as read.
-
- The text file would say something like:
- I am away on vacation and will answer your mail upon my return.
-
- Here are some people to contact in my absence: etc.
-
-
- I have looked through the Mail program's help utility and saw nothing even
- approaching what I am looking for.
-
- We are running VMS 5.4-2 on a VAX 6510
-
- Thanks in advance!!
