Here is a handy program I invoke to return mail when
I'm on vacation.  Here is how it works:
Type:
	$ start
and that's all there is to it.  It will automatically
reply to all mail senders with the text of the file
'mail.mesg'

Note: If \$HOME/.mailrc exists it will be moved to .omailrc

To stop it:
Type:
	$ at -l
	at: job ?.a 	[jot down ? which is many digits]
	$ at -r ?

I'm on vacation.  Here is how it works:
Type:
	$ start
and that's all there is to it.  It will automatically
reply to all mail senders with the text of the file
'mail.mesg'  (customize to your need.)

Note: If \$HOME/.mailrc exists it will be moved to .omailrc

To stop it:

Unpack this program in $HOME.

Note: is assumes that bin and mail are directories.
