> how do i set auto reply mail when i am out of town

run "vacation -I" to initialize the vacation database.

next, add the following to ~/.forward:
	\jon "|vacation jon"

substituting "jon" with your account name.

You can place an outgoing message in ~/.vacation.msg if you don't want
the default.

Note that this mechanism can be used to pipe mail to arbitrary programs
in addition to "vacation".
