However, if you DO write such a robot, >it should identify its messages as being from a robot. As an example, the new cc:Mail for Windows rules facility will prefix the subject with "Rule:" (e.g. Subject: Rule: bla, bla, bla) so that other people's "robot" responders will know not to respond themselves to an auto response. I give this not so much as an example of "how to", but just to show that even cc:Mail recognizes this as an obvious requirement ;-) Brent Stilley, Oklahoma State University, 113 Math Sciences, Stillwater, 74078
