I understand that you make up a file and call it a file name. So I will make up a file called "gone" Now gone, may contain a message that will be mailed to each and every person letting them know that I am not availabe and mail them the contents of the file. To use autoreply you just "autoreply gone", is that correct, then when you receive mail, it will automatically send them the contents of the file? Ok, I have tried it, but nothing happens, could someone advise me what I am doing wrong? Please email me your answers, I am sure, that everyone probably understands this and doesn't want to be bothered with the answer to an easy quewstion. Thanks.
