Subject: Re: bin/15227: New option for vacation(1) -- dir to use instead of
$HOME
Please, consider this patch instead. It adds:
* ability to force the reply address with -F option
* uses From and Reply-To headers if any -- the fact
that our old vacation is NOT doing this, should've
been send-pr-ed long time ago
* invokes sendmail with -t -- plain and simple
* finally! replaces $SUBJECT with the original
message's subject anywhere in .vacation.msg
Thanks!
